Title Of Article :
Developing Prospective Science Teachers’ Mathematical Modelling Performances
Abstract :
In this study, prospective science teachers’ mathematical modelling performances were investigated at teaching one and two dimensional motion units with the help of mathematical modelling. For this aim, prospective science teachers and instructor’s guide materials developed for one and two dimensional motion units was applied to 23 prospective science teachers and data from 12 prospective science teachers attending all activities was analyzed for this research using content analysis. Prospective science teachers’ materials were examined using a rubric consisted of true, partially true, false and empty categories then incorporated into categories determined in rubric, and prospective science teachers’ performances were evaluated regarding the point they got from their answers at every stage of mathematical modelling. As a result of the study, it is determined that prospective science teachers showed improvements at all stages of mathematical modelling activities in the course of time, and it is concluded that those who were higher achievers at real world problem stage were performed well at the other stages. In addition, it is decided that mathematical modelling studies have positive contribution to prospective science teachers to make connection between real life and Physics.
