Abstract
Bu çalışmada, ortaokul matematik öğretmenlerinin 5. sınıflarda problem çözme stratejilerini kullanma yeterlikleri, bu konuda karşılaştıkları zorluklar ve başvurdukları çözüm yollarına ilişkin gelişim süreçlerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma grubunu, 4+4+4 eğitim sisteminin uygulanmasıyla ilk kez 5. sınıflarda ders vermeye başlayan beş ortaokul matematik öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Nitel araştırma desenlerinden durum çalışması yönteminin benimsendiği çalışmada veriler araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan Problem Çözme Testi ve Görüşme Formları ile toplanmış ve betimsel analiz tekniği ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları, öğretmenlerin 5. sınıflarda problem çözmede uygun stratejileri kullanabildiğini göstermekle birlikte, strateji çeşitliliğinin öğretmenlerin kıdemleri ve farklı sınıf düzeylerinde mesleki deneyimleriyle ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. 5. sınıf düzeyinde daha uzun süre derse giren veya sistem değişikliğinden sonra mezun olan öğretmenlerin daha farklı stratejiler sergileyebilmiştir. Bu araştırma, eğitim sistemi değişikliklerinin lisans eğitimi ile uyumlu olmadığı ve hizmet içi eğitimle desteklenmediği durumlarda, öğrenci düzeyine uygun öğrenme etkinliklerinin gerçekleşmesinin öğretmenin kendi çaba ve inisiyatifine bağlı olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
This case study aimed to examine middle school mathematics teachers' competencies to use problem solving strategies at 5th grade and their development processes in this regard. The research group was formed with five middle school mathematics teachers who graduated before and after 2012, when middle school teachers started teaching in 5th grade for the first time with the implementation of the 4 + 4 + 4 education system. Data were collected with the Problem Solving Test and Interview Forms prepared by the researchers and analyzed with descriptive analysis technique. The findings of the study showed that although teachers were able to use appropriate strategies in problem solving at 5th grade, the diversity of strategies was related to preservice education and professional experience at the classroom level. Teachers who attended classes for a longer time at the 5th grade level or graduated after the system change were able to exhibit different strategies. This study has revealed that in cases where educational system changes are not compatible with undergraduate education and are not supported by in-service training, learning activities appropriate to the student level depend on the teachers’ effort and initiative.
