Integration of Algebraic Habits of Mind into the Classroom Practice
Öz: Getting students adopt the habits of mind specific to many disciplines can be seen as an anchor thatwill support them to solve the problems in their daily lives. Starting from this premise, a new subject, featuringthe habits of mind and how to use and improve them in educational environments seems to worth thinking on.This article describes an activity designed to integrate the components of algebraic habits of mind into theclassroom practice. Data were collected in three weeks and analyzed by descriptive method within theanalytical framework for algebraic habits of mind. As the results of the classrroom practice, students showedvarious ways of algebraic thinking, used multiple representations, generalized their solutions and madeabstractions. They were also able to transform their relational and generalized thoughts, which have beenverbally expressed at the beginning, to symbolic arguments and mathematical statements that allowdevelopment of formal algebra.
Anahtar Kelime: Zihnin Cebirsel Alışkanlıklarının Sınıf Ortamına Entegrasyonu
Öz: Öğrencilere bir çok disipline özgü zihinsel alışkanlıkları kazandırmanın gerçek yaşamlarında problem çözmelerini destekleyecek bir dayanak noktası olabileceği ifade edilmektedir. Bu öneriden hareketle zihinsel alışkanlıkların ne olduğu ve öğretim ortamlarında nasıl kullanılıp geliştirileceği düşünmeye değer bir konu olarak görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı zihnin cebirsel alışkanlıklarının bileşenlerinin bir sınıf içi öğretim uygulamasına entegre edildiği bir etkinliğin tanıtımını yapmaktır. Veriler 3 haftalık bir süreçte toplanmış ve zihnin cebirsel alışkanlıkları çerçevesi bağlamında betimsel yöntemle analiz edilmiştir. Öğretim uygulaması sonucunda, öğrencilerde farklı cebirsel düşünme yolları ortaya çıktığı, öğrencilerin çoklu temsil kullandıkları, çözümlerini genelleyebildikleri, başlangıçta sözel olarak ifade ettikleri ilişkisel ve genellenmiş düşüncelerini formel cebirin gelişimini sağlayacak sembolik argümanlara ve matematiksel açıklamalara dönüştürdükleri ve işlemleri soyutlayabildikleri görülmüştür.
