Sükrü Ilgün; Solmaz Damla Gedik Altun; Alper Cihan Konyalioglu – Educational Policy Analysis and Strategic Research, 2023
The aim of this study is to examine the ability of pre-service mathematics teachers to detect errors made in solving questions about matrices. The study particularly focused on revealing the internalization of the teachings such as the meanings and relational dimensions of concepts and operations about matrix. The study was conducted with 26…

Sakyiwaa Boateng; Sizwe J. C. Masuku – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2025
Electricity and magnetism are fundamental areas of physics and are integral to science curricula at various educational levels. However, this area has been reported to contain several concepts that students find challenging, leading to perspectives that diverge from scientifically accepted views. This study examines the errors made by physics…

Timothy, Venance; Watzka, Bianca; Stadler, Matthias; Girwidz, Raimund; Fischer, Frank – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
Physics teachers need diagnostic competence to effectively identify students' misconceptions, but studies have yet to sufficiently investigate how this competence can be advanced through various instructional strategies. In this study, we compared a problem-solving strategy against an example-based strategy in advancing diagnostic competence in…

Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
We present action research of a problem posed as part of a multi-participant national (Israeli) test checking the mathematical knowledge of high school students at the ages of 16-17, where some of those who solved this problem made an error by using the converse to a well-known theorem, where the converse is not true. In order to examine the…

Hokor, Evans Kofi; Apawu, Jones; Owusu-Ansah, Nana Akosua; Agormor, Sefakor – Pedagogical Research, 2022
Concerns about the influence of misconceptions, culture and social setting on probabilistic reasoning of teacher trainees led to a study in this area to explore the reasoning of preservice teachers from a college of education in Ghana. This study investigates preservice teachers' misconceptions and difficulties in probabilistic problems solving…

Hea-Jin Lee; Hee-Jeong Kim; Hyungmi Cho – Journal of Education for Teaching: International Research and Pedagogy, 2024
Teachers require support in developing the pedagogical skill of interpreting students' mathematical thinking and providing effective feedback that promotes learning. However, there is a lack of research assessing the quality of feedback based on teacher noticing in mathematics classes. This study analysed 20 preservice teachers' (PSTs) feedback…

Cumhur, Fatma – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2022
Understanding students' mathematical thinking in problem solving process plays an important role in facilitating the solution. Hence, teachers or pre-service teachers need to understand students' thoughts and guide them to the correct answer. The aim of this study was to examine pre-service teachers' approaches to guiding students in problem…

Çeziktürk, Özlem; Özdemir, Ahmet Sükrü – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2021
Cognitive difficulty arises from two types of cognitive processes: treatments; within the same, conversions; between different types of representational registers. Conversions are difficult since they ask for understanding of two representations. Direction and the choice of first register could be a threshold for the student. Wasan geometry is…

Kertil, Mahmut; Küpcü, Ali Riza – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
This study investigates prospective elementary and secondary school mathematics teachers' ways of reasoning about differentiability at a point and corner points while working on a mathematical modelling activity. Adopting a multiple-case study design, the participants of the study were 68 prospective elementary school mathematics teachers enrolled…

Pla-Castells, Marta; Melchor, Carmen; Chaparro, Gisela – Education Sciences, 2021
This work describes how the combination of the mistakes committed by a group of pre-service teachers when solving a Fermi problem, with the representation of the temporal analysis of their resolutions, can offer more in-depth information about their conceptual misconceptions regarding mathematical and modelling concepts. The combined…

Cetin, Omer Faruk – Pedagogical Research, 2022
This research aimed to determine the difficulties that the students experience in inequality solutions that contain inequality in general and rational (proportional) expressions, and to solve these difficulties with an activity. Totally 108 students, who were enrolled in the Department of Mathematics and Science Education, consisted respectively…

Brückler, Franka Miriam; Milin Šipuš, Željka – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
During the last two years, the COVID-19 pandemic had a secondary effect of increased media content loaded with mathematical, often probabilistic information (and misinformation). Our exploratory study investigates the probabilistic intuitions, misconceptions, biases, and fallacies in conditional probability reasoning of mathematics teacher…

Krajcevski, Milé; Sears, Ruthmae – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2019
In this paper, we demonstrate how atypical visual representations of a triangle, square or a parallelogram may hinder students' understanding of a median and altitude. We analyze responses and reasoning given by 16 preservice middle school teachers in a Geometry Connection class. Particularly, the data were garnered from three specific questions…

Ilhan, Aziz; Akin, M. Faysal – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2022
The present study aimed to analyse the context-based problem solutions of pre-service mathematics teachers, their mathematical sentences formation skills and misconceptions. Thus, the participating pre-service mathematics teachers were asked to solve context-based problems, form mathematical sentences formation, predict misconceptions that they…
