Abstract:

In this study, the aim is to compare the arrangements made for mathematical literature in the teaching programs of the primary mathematical lessons of the Republic period in Turkey from 1926 to today. The research is a quality study and the method of document examination has been used. The written texts of the 10 teaching programs implemented throughout the Republic's history have created the data set of the research. In the context of mathematical literature, the study of the definitions in the field has determined the seven themes that form this concept. The written texts of the mathematical teaching programs are subject to content analysis within each subject determined. The results of the analysis have determined that in the programs mathematical literature has been made changes in the purpose of use, method and guidelines according to the themes. It has also been seen that all other topics, except the theme of Information and Communication Technologies Use, have been included in all the programs, from the Declaration of the Republic to the present day, with a varied emphasis and a terminology that shows diversity. The theme of Information and Communication Technologies Usage was first included in the 1998 curriculum, and this topic was also included in all the curriculum from that year to today.  In the teaching programmes, mathematical literature is focused on the changes that occur in the historical context in the form of dealing with the themes.
