PROBLEM SOLVING STRATEGIES USED BY GIFTED SECONDARY SCHOOLSTUDENTS TO SOLVE MATH PROBLEMS

Öz:
The general purpose of this study was to determine the strategies used by gifted secondary school students in solvingmathematics problems. To collect data about the problem solving strategies of the gifted students, a case study was used. The research was performed at the Science and Arts Center of Ankara Province in Turkey. The study was conducted with five 7thgrade secondary school students. In the sample chosen, first, the necessary permissions were obtained from the Ministry of National Education in Turkey, and then, the random sampling method was used. A problem solving test that was developedby the researcher was used as the measurement instrument. There were 5mathematics problems in the test, and each problem was checked whether specific problem solving strategies were used or not. Additionally, problems were developed byfollowing the objectivesof the secondary mathematics curriculum. The responsesof the students were evaluated through semi structured interviews for each problem according to the strategies used, and field notes were taken during the semi-structuredinterviews by the researcher. The data were analyzed using descriptive analyses and voice thinking techniques. The results ofthe study revealed that the students used 8 different strategies for solving the mathematics problems. They most frequentlyused logical reasoning and finding pattern problem solving strategies during the solution of these problems, however theworking backward and considering extreme cases strategies were never used by the gifted students.

ÖZEL YETENEKLİ ORTAOKUL ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN PROBLEM ÇÖZMEDE KULLANDIKLARI PROBLEM ÇÖZME STRATEJİLERİ

Öz:
Bu çalışmanın genel amacı özel yetenekli ortaokul öğrencilerinin matematik problemlerini çözerken kullandıkları problemçözme stratejilerini belirlemektir. Çalışmada özel yeteneklilerin problem çözme stratejileri hakkında veri toplamak içindurum çalışması yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma, Millî Eğitim Bakanlığından gerekli izinler alındıktan sonra Ankara ilindeyer alan bir Bilim Sanat Merkezinde öğrenim görmekte olan özel yetenekli beş öğrenci ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanınörneklemi, kurumda öğrenim görmekte olan yedinci sınıf öğrencileri arasından çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü olanöğrencilerden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın verileri araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen “Problem Çözme Testi” kullanılaraköğrencilerle yapılan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmelerle elde edilmiştir. Test, her maddesi ilköğretim matematik öğretimprogramındayer alan hedefler doğrultusunda geliştirilen ve birden fazla problem çözme stratejisi kullanılmaya uygun olan beşmatematik probleminden oluşmaktadır. Elde edilen veriler betimsel analiz ve sesli düşünme tekniği yöntemleri kullanılarakanaliz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda özel yetenekli öğrencilerin problemleri çözerken sekiz farklı problem çözmestratejisi kullandıkları ortaya çıkmıştır. Öğrenciler en fazla mantıksal akıl yürütme ve ilişki arama stratejilerini kullanmış,geriye doğru çalışma ve uç durumları düşünme stratejilerini hiç kullanmamıştır.
