Real World Connections in High School Mathematics Curriculum and Teaching

Abstract: Making real world connections in mathematics curricula and in teaching mathematics is generally viewed favorably within the educational community, however, little empirical research has examined how and why to use real world connections in mathematics education based on the views of experts. This study describes the feasibility of the use of real world connections according to high school mathematics teachers and academicians of mathematics education. Opinions of high school mathematics teachers (n=16) and aca… Show more

“…Moreover, it is found out that while statements involving connections between different representations of the concept are less common, statements involving connections between mathematics and different disciplines are rare. Karakoç and Alacacı (2015) have conducted a study on the real life connections examples of 16 high school mathematics teachers as well as 8 academicians in the field of mathematics teaching and their opinions about the advantages and disadvantages of the usage of these examples in the classroom environment. As a result of the research, it is found out that mathematics teachers and academicians could present logical and meaningful examples of real life connections for almost all high school mathematics subjects.…”

“…As a matter of fact, the significance of the "mathematical connection" skill, which is determined as one of the process standards in the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in the United States, defined as follows: If students can connect mathematical ideas, their understanding will be deeper and more permanent, and mathematics will be seen as a whole (NCTM, 2000). The conducted researches also emphasizes that the idea of using real life connections in mathematics teaching increases the students interest's and motivation's towards mathematics, develops a positive attitude about mathematics, contributes to students for their preparation of real life and develop conceptual understanding (Mosvold, 2008;Lee, 2012;Özgen, 2013;Karakoç & Alacacı, 2015;Bingölbali & Çoşkun, 2016;Papadakis, Kalogiannakis, & Zaranis, 2017).…”

“…Türkiye'de bu bağlamda yapılmış birçok çalışmada, ortaokul öğrencilerine sunulan gerçek hayat bağlamlarının matematik öğrenmeye etkisinin incelendiği; lise öğrencilerinin, akademisyen ve lise matematik öğretmenlerinin gerçek hayat bağlamları hakkında görüşlerinin alındığı görülmektedir (örn., Baki ve ark., 2009;Karakoç & Alacacı, 2015;Özdemir ve Üzel, 2011). Bu çalışmada ise matematik öğretmeni adaylarının ortaokul matematik öğretim programından seçtikleri kazanımlar doğrultusunda gerçek hayatla bağlam ilişkilendirmelerini neden ve nasıl yaptıkları incelenmektedir.…”

“…alt problemine yönelik bulgular, öğretmen adaylarının en çok kavramların öğrencilerin yaşamlarında (gerçek hayatlarında) nasıl kullanıldığını göstermek/farkındalık yaratmak için kullandıklarını göstermektedir. Alanda yapılan çalışmalar incelendiğinde, elde edilen bu bulgu gerçek hayat bağlamlarının öğrenilecek konu ile ilişkilendirilmesi ile öğrencilerin kuralları ezberlemek ve anlamsız gelen uygulamaları yapmak yerine onlar için anlam ifade eden uygulamalara yönelmelerine katkıda bulunduğunu raporlayan diğer çalışmalarla uyum içerisindedir (Baki ve ark., 2009;Dickinson, Eade, Gough & Hough, 2010;Karakoç & Alacacı, 2015;Lee, 2012). Bununla birlikte, bulgular öğretmen adaylarının öğrencilerin ilgisini çekmek ve öğrencileri motive etmek; öğrencinin matematiği daha iyi, kolay ve kalıcı anlamasını sağlamak gibi amaçlara da yöneldiğini göstermektedir.…”
