Fakat geometri öğretim programı 9.sınıfta uygulanmaya başlanmasına rağmen, uygulanmasına kademeli olarak devam ederken 12. sınıfta uygulanmasının sonuçları beklenmeden kaldırılarak geometri ve matematik dersleri birleştirerek yeniden bir öğretim programı oluşturulmuştur. Bu çalışmada geometri dersi öğretim programı geliştirme çalışmasına katılan akademisyenler gözüyle, program değerlendirilmiş, öğretmenlerin neden bu programının yansıttığı değişimi kabul etmeleri gerektiğini ve buna karşın öğretmenlerin neden bu değişimi kabul etmedikleri, direndikleri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Ayrıca geometri dersi öğretim programının uygulanmasına son verilerek oluşturulan yeni matematik dersi öğretim programı geliştirme çalışmalarına katılan akademisyenlere göre, geometri dersi öğretim programının neden uzun ömürlü olmadığının ortaya koyulması amaçlanmıştır. Sonuç olarak geometri dersi öğretim programı geliştirenlere göre öğretmenlerin değişime direnme nedenleri en çok politik nedenlere dayanırken, yapısal kaynaklı nedenler ise yeni matematik dersi öğretim programı geliştirme çalışmalarında bulunan akademisyenlere göre öğretmenlerin değişimi kabul etmeme nedenleri arasındadır.

So in this study, firstly a Learning Object Repository (LOR) has been designed in parallel with 9th grade school mathematics curriculum. One of the two treatment groups was named as "classroom group" (n=24) used LOs with the guidance of the teacher during lessons in a computer lab, another group named as "project group" (n=26) used LOs at home with the aim of preparing projects and assignments. Students in both groups used LOs during 11 weeks. A pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental design was used. Test results are compared in different learning domains (sets, numbers, relations and functions). In addition the interviews with the teacher and the observations inside the class were taken into account for revealing the reasons about the change on academic achievements. The results of the study about students' academic achievements showed that; LOs use in classroom activities were more effective than LOs use in extracurricular activities if sets, numbers, relations, functions and operations domains are considered together. Nevertheless this study supported the idea of "LOs can be used in both in classroom activities and in extracurricular activities".

For this aim, qualitative data was collected via observations and interviews. The data gathered from classroom observations and 3 interviews with each of the 9 teachers working in the center and periphery of Trabzon in Turkey were analyzed and interpreted. It is shown that the teachers have positive ideas about the new curriculum. However, they have some problems in term of implementing new curriculum in their classrooms. Additionally, in spite of the fact that they are in favor of the new curriculum, it was observed that they could not create environment suitable for such student-centered approaches.

Although some people stick to printed resources, the fact that electronic resources offer innovation and irresistible options in terms of cost and time is obvious. The aim of this survey study is to detect some data that can be generalized about the graduate students' state of using printed and electronic resources. A questionnaire, developed by Ebrary, one of the largest e-book suppliers of the world, was used as the data gathering tool. After the studies for improving the reliability and validity of the questionnaire, a questionnaire form with 16 items was obtained. 634 questionnaires were sent to graduate students via e-mail, 130 of them were sent back and 125 questionnaires were evaluated for the study. Concerning all the data, it was concluded that majority of the graduate students are aware of the comfort of the e-resources and prefer to use these resources academically.

The case study method was used in the study. The study was conducted during the fall term of 2007-2008 academic year, with four mathematics teachers working in the public secondary and primary schools in Trabzon. A semi-structured interview form composed open-ended and scenario type questions, and a scale were used as the data collection tools. In the study, two interviews were carried out with each teacher which of each took average 60 minutes. In the analysis of the interviews, firstly the audiotaped interviews were transcribed. The data obtained from interviews processed with content analysis and classified by using Magolda's Epistemological Reflection Model. By using Perry's Model, the results of scale was categorized and correlated with Magolda's levels. At the end of the study, it was found that all the participants were at the independent knowing level with respect to student role while they have some different opinions about the subject. It was also determined that altough the participants were informed about discovery learning, they did not have sufficient experience in that issue. In this context, it is believed that future comprehensive studies with the aim of removing teachers' deficiencies regarding alternative teaching methods would help teachers in planning discovery learning environment and more likely to ensure higher expectations from students to be successful.

Participants of the study were consisted of nine instructors of the introductory statistics course from nine different undergraduate programs. Data were collected by the help of the interviews. Instructors were asked to answer the questions about statistical literacy definitions, organization of the course content, issues emphasized or avoided by instructors in teaching statistics, and instructors" post-course expectations from their students. Qualitative data was categorized under five main themes based on the interview questions and data was analyzed through statistical literacy components and their aspects. The instructors' ultimate expectations from the students and the issues they emphasized during the courses are mostly stated in relation with statistical literacy. They provided less information related statistical literacy about two themes: course content and the issues they avoid. Recommendations from this study include reviewing and revising statistics course content and methods to reveal the components of statistical literacy.

But most of the teachers seem to be hesitated about using history of mathematics on the lessons. One of the reasons of this hesitation is that teachers have no information or they don't have enough information about history of mathematics and usage of it on the lessons. Also teachers seem to have difficulties in finding resources of knowledge they need to learn about history of mathematics. Because of these reasons introducing some selected resources about history of mathematics is aimed in this research. Document analysis method is used in the study. Turkish web sites, projects, thesis, books, and journals about history of mathematics are introduced by this study. Also some researches done in our country about using teaching applications enriched by history of mathematics in classroom environments are given place in the study.

The participants were student mathematics teachers enrolled in undergraduate programmes at two different universities. In one of the university programmes, the participants took a mathematical modelling course that was taught according to a holistic approach, while the participants at the other university followed the standardized undergraduate programme that did not include a mathematical modelling course. The sub-competencies of mathematical modelling of the student mathematics teachers who participated in the mathematical modelling course were examined using an analytic rubric that was designed according to the holistic approach applied within the context of the study. In order to determine whether the observed changes were related to the experiences of mathematical modelling, these results were compared to the sub-competencies of mathematical modelling of the control group. The findings showed that experience within a learning environment based on mathematical modelling, as well as affective factors, supported the development of modelling competencies. On the other hand, it was observed that certain sub-competencies were difficult to develop; while many sub-competencies were enhanced by the modelling experiences, others were adversely affected. Furthermore, a certain group of sub-competencies was found not to be directly linked to modelling experiences.

On the other hand, it was observed that certain sub-competencies were difficult to develop; while many sub-competencies were enhanced by the modelling experiences, others were adversely affected. Furthermore, a certain group of sub-competencies was found not to be directly linked to modelling experiences.
