PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS' ANALYSIS SUCCESS AND SPATIAL VISUALIZATION SKILLS ABOUT ROTATIONAL OBJECTS

2023-08-03T22:32:06+00:00

The purpose of the research is to examine undergraduate program in mathematics education students’ analysis success and spatial visualization skills about rotational objects. In the study, Explanatory Research Design was used. Area and Volume Calculation Scale about Rotational Objects (six items) and Spatial Visualization Scale about Rotational Objects (five items) were developed and applied by the researchers. In findings, while pre-service teachers were generally successful in calculating area and volume about rotational objects; they were more successful in area calculation than volume calculation. A significant difference was found between the participants' ability to calculate area and volume about rotational objects and their spatial visualization skills. In the content analysis, it was determined that the participants had difficulty in recognizing the names of axes, constructing rotational objects, and defining the rotational object in different positions.

Keywords: Rotational objects, analyses success, spatial visualization.

TEACHERS' PERCEPTIONS ABOUT ETHICAL SYSTEMS

2024-01-11T09:36:25+00:00

The teaching profession and ethics are concepts that are closely related. Teaching generally has missions within education and training, such as guiding individuals to the right and good and setting an example for them. Ethics is the guide that ensures that the profession adheres to certain principles while fulfilling its mission. One of the most discussed issues in the field is the criteria by which ethical principles will be improved (Aydın, 2016). In this context, five important ethical systems stand out in the field. These are Rule Ethics (Kant, I.), Personal Ethics (Buber, M.), Intended Result Ethics (Mill, J. S.), Social Contract Ethics (Rousseau, J. J.) and Social Life Ethics. This study aims to reveal teachers' perceptions of ethical systems while practicing their profession. The study group of the research consists of 9 teachers working in the central district of Çanakkale. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and subjected to content analysis using the deductive method. As a result of the study, it was determined that teachers generally comply with ethical principles, but they are not aware of the approach they use to do this.

Keywords: Teaching, ethical systems, ethical principles, professional ethics
