Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to study the beliefs of self-sufficiency to mathematics teaching of the candidates for mathematics teachers according to some variables. The data of the research was collected by Hacıömeroğlu and Taşkın (2010) by Enochs and others (2000) with a form of personal information developed by the researcher and adapted to the Turkish state of the mathematical teaching skill scale of faith. The study was conducted in the spring period of the 2016-2017 academic year, with a total of 150 students studying at the University of the Hundred Years, the Faculty of Education Primary School of Mathematics Teaching. Independent sampling t-test and ANOVA were used for the analysis of the collected data. According to the results of the analysis; it has been found that the beliefs of teachers candidates in self-quality towards mathematical teaching generally correspond to the level of "uncertainty". It has been determined that the beliefs of teachers candidates in self-quality are not significantly different from gender to gender, but that the scale is significantly different in terms of the "personal-quality" subdimensions in favor of male teachers candidates. The beliefs of teacher candidates in self-quality vary significantly according to the class level and the type of high school they graduate; this significant difference has been shown to be in favour of teachers candidates who graduate from the high school in terms of the fourth class and the scale of "personal qualification" in terms of the lower dimension. Furthermore, it was suggested that the teaching and teaching process should be carried out in the course of the teaching and teaching process to enhance the teaching candidates’ self-capacity in mathematics teaching.
