Analysis of mathematical problem-solving skills viewed from ınitial ability and gender differences in an elementary school
Full text linkThis study aims to describe the mathematical problem solving skills of students based on gender. This research is a descriptive qualitative study. Sampling was done by purposive sampling. The subjects of this study were fifth grade students of SDN Sinduadi 1 Sleman Yogyakarta in the academic year 2018/2019. The technique of collecting data used are testing and interview methods to get data about the process of making information done by students in solving mathematical problems. The instruments used to collect data are solving test and interview guidelines. The results of this study indicate male and female students who have low initial mathematical ability have not been able to apply mathematical problem solving with Polya steps. Those students are include in very poor category. Where Polya steps are 1) understanding the problem, 2) plan problem solving, 3) solve the problem according to the plan, and 4) re-checking. Therefore, special learning strategies and habituation are needed for students to solve the problem completely. In conclusion there are differences between male and female in problem solving but not so significantly.
The Effects of Guided Inquiry-Based Learning Implementations on 4th Grades on Matter; A Case Study
No full textThis study aimed to examine the effects of guided inquiry-based learning (GIBL) implementations applied to fourth-grade students in a Turkish rural school on both students and elementary teacher.It was designed as a case study using qualitative data in the form of structured student interviews, journaling by the teacher, video recordings, and observations by the researcher. 15 GIBL experiments with 5E learning model in structured classroom rather than laboratory integrated with curriculum outcomes were conducted with 42 students. The results of student’s interviews showed positive effects of GIBL implementations on the learning of concepts, willingness to learn science, group working, and the attitude of their teacher. GIBL implementations helped the teacher to realize her role in relation to the students, awareness of the required competencies, skills and self-confidence

Effect of Mindfulness on Conflict Management Styles of Preservice Teacher: Testing the Mediating of Perceived Stress By Structural Equation Modeling
No full textThe aim of this research is to examine whether perceived stress has a mediating role in the relationship between mindfulness and conflict management styles. 315 senior students who enrolled Faculty of Education was participated in this study which was designed as causal design. To determine the suitability of data set for structural equation modelling Pearson Moment Product correlation analysis was applied and it was found that there is not relationship between mindfulness and obliging style, mindfulness and dominating style, perceived stress and avoiding style. Therefore, structural equation modelling was performed for integrating and compromising styles. According to results perceived stress fully mediates between mindfulness and compromising and perceived stress partially mediates between mindfulness and integrating style. The study was concluded with limitations and suggestion for future studies
Problem Posing Activities in Primary School Mathematics Textbooks
Full text linkTextbooks are important for mathematics as they are for other courses. Problem posing is one of the important activities in mathematics education. In this manner, the goal of this study is to analyse the problem-posing activities in primary school mathematics textbooks offered by Ministry of National Education and used in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 school years. For this purpose, 10 primary school mathematics textbooks were analysed with document analysis method according to their years, grade levels, learning domains, sub-learning domains and types of problem posing. It was achieved that the number of activities in the textbooks in the school year of 2017-2018 were more in number than activities in the textbooks used in the school year of 2018-2019 in all grade levels except second grade level as a result of the analysis according to number of problem posing, learning domains that it includes, the number of sub-learning and types. In addition, no problem posing activity was found in any of the first-grade books. It is considered that increasing the number of problem-posing activities in the textbooks and diversifying the problem-posing type are necessary.Keywords: Mathematics, primary school mathematics textbooks, problem posin

The results can be the reference for other researches that fail to reach the goal of anti-corruption education due to the different perception
Focus on teaching pronunciation at primary schools in Slovakia
Full text linkTeaching and practicing correct pronunciation is often neglected in English language lessons. The importance of correct pronunciation is unquestionable as it is a fundamental feature of successful communication. For this reason, it needs to be taught and practiced right from the beginning of English language teaching, because young learners are the best recipients and often can achieve flawless-like pronunciation. This qualitative study investigates how teachers perceive teaching pronunciation at several primary schools in Slovakia, focusing on teaching techniques and materials used for teaching pronunciation, and aspects of pronunciation. Methods for collecting research data were observation and interview. Findings show that the most used teaching techniques are corrections, drills and songs, and that the most used materials are pictures and textbook CDs. Segmental aspects were practiced when learning new words, but without any particular attention to segmenatal features and suprasegmental aspects of rhythm were practiced by rhymes, chants and songs and no attention was paid to word stress. The study indicates that teachers pay attention to teaching pronunciation, but without particular focus on different features of pronunciaton and using limited teaching techniques and materials
Developing a Phenomenographic Argument for The Exit-Level Prospective Teachers’ Conceptions About Teaching and Learning
Full text linkThis study presents a phenomenographic argument regarding Turkish prospective teachers’ (PTs) beliefs about teaching and learning varying according to their experience. A phenomenographic research study was conducted in order to capture and interpret the PTs’ explanations and documentation regarding the conceptions of instruction. The participants were 54 senior pre-service student teachers. Qualitative data was gathered through phenomenographic interviewing. The data was analysed interpretatively, and categories of description were derived to establish an outcome space for supporting the phenomenographic argument. The outcome space incorporates three hierarchical levels of the PTs’ conceptions of teaching and learning: subject-centred teaching, individual-centred learning, and learner-centred teaching-learning. It was revealed that the PTs held considerably conventional, idealistic teaching and learning conceptions. Moreover, there was a sharp distinction between the individual-centred and learner-centred conceptions of the participant PTs. Concrete recommendations for teacher preparation are offered to enhance the PTs’ shallow conceptions of teaching and learning.
An Investigation of the Mediator Role of Dyadic Coping in Relation Between Parenting Stress and Marital Quality
Full text linkThe aim of this study is to investigate of the mediator role of dyadic coping (DC) in relations between parenting stress and marital quality. The data were collected from 803 people (%59 women, %41 men) by Dyadic Coping Inventory, Marital Quality Scale and Parent Stress Scale. Three models were formed in direction in line with the study, (the perception of the individuals towards self-perception towards DC, the perception towards the partner, the perception of common DC) and these models were tested. As mediator variables, emotion-problem focused supportive coping, negative coping, emotion-problem focused common coping which are subscales of DC with stress were used. Results showed that in the perception of self and partner models, there were partial mediations of emotion focused support; in the common model there were partial mediation by emotion and problem-focused common DC in the relation between parenting stress and marital qualit
