Preservice Mathematics Teachers' Representation Transformation Competence Levels in the Process of Solving Limit Problems
Kuzu, Okan
Acta Didactica Napocensia, v13 n2 p306-315 2020
In this study, representations used by preservice mathematics teachers in the process of solving limit problems were determined, the inter-representation transformation competence levels were investigated and the relationship between them was examined. In this context, "Limit Representation Transformation Test" with a reliability of 0.908 was administered to 50 preservice teachers attending to a state university in the Central of Turkey. Preservice teachers had most difficulty in solving problems that had verbal representation inputs, especially they achieved low performances in transformation from verbal to numerical representation. Although, in general, they achieved the highest performance in the problem that had numerical representation input, they also achieved very high performances in the problems that had graphical and algebraic representation inputs. Specifically, they performed very well in the problems that required transformation from an algebraic representation to a verbal representation. Moreover, significant positive correlations were found among preservice teachers' representation transformation competence levels.
