An analysis of seventh-grade students' mathematical reasoning

Öz:
Bu çalışmanın amacı, yedinci sınıf öğrencilerinin matematiksel muhakeme düzeylerinibelirlemek ve bu yöndeki performanslarını ortaya koymaktır. Çalışma, Türkiyenin birindeki düşük ve orta sosyo- ekonomik düzeye sahip üç ortaokulunda öğrenim gören167 yedinci sınıf öğrencisinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Matematiksel MuhakemeTesti (MMT) geliştirilmiş ve veri toplama aracı olarak kullanıl mıştır. Verilerin analizi içinkatılımcıların test puanları hesaplanmış ve hangi düzeyde oldukları belirlenmiştir. Bazıöğrencilerin testteki örnek bir soruya (Q7) ilişkin bazı cevapları doğrudan aktarılmış vetartışılmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda, katı lımcıların yaklaşık yarısının (%45.5)matematiksel muhakemesinin orta, %27.5inin ise düşük düzeyde olduğu tespitedilmiştir. Bu sonuçlar göz önüne alındığında, genel olarak öğrencilerin matematikselmuhakemelerinin orta ve düşük düzeyde olduğu söylenebili r. Matematikselmuhakemenin geliştirilebilmesi için öğrencilerin alışılmış klasik problemlerden ziyademuhakame yapmalarını gerektiren problemlerle uğraşmalarına imkân tanınmalıdır.

Yedinci sınıf öğrencilerinin matematiksel muhakemelerinin bir analizi

Öz:
The aim of this study is to determine the seventh -graders levels of mathematicalreasoning and to reveal their performance. The present study was carried out with 167seventh - grade students studying at randomly selected three middle schools thatserved low and middle socioeconomic areas in a city of Turkey. MathematicalReasoning Test (MRT) was developed and used as data collection tool. In analyzingthe data, participants scores of the test was computed and which mathematicalreasoning level they were in was determined. Sample responses of the some studentsregarding any question (Q7) in the test were presented directly and discussed. As aresult of the analysis, it was found that about half of the students (45.5%) had mediumand 27.5% of them had low level of mathematical reasoning. When the results areevaluated, it is probable to say that most of the students mathematical reasoning is atmedium or low level in general. On the other hand, it is remarkable that rather thanthe familiar classical problems, students need to be enabled to deal with the problemsthat they can do reasoning and thus their mathematical reasoning could be improved.
