Abstract:

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the development of prospective mathematics teachers’ knowledge on measurement-evaluation and curriculum through lesson study method. Design/Methodology/Approach: In this study, a qualitative paradigm was adopted, and among designs, a case study method was used. The participants of the study were five senior students of the Secondary Mathematics Teacher Training program, who had already taken the teaching practice course. The data of the study were collected within a teaching practice course. In this process, observation and semi-structured interviews were done, and descriptive analysis techniques were used for the analysis of the data. Observations were used to collect data related to measurement and evaluation knowledge the observation form developed by Gökkurt (2014) and were to collect data related to curriculum knowledge the observation form developed by Şahin and Soylu (2017). Semi-structured interviews with prospective teachers as for were done upon the effectiveness, usability, etc. of lesson study method. Findings: When the data were analyzed, it was seen that the measurement - evaluation knowledge and curriculum knowledge of the prospective teachers were developed by the of the lesson study method. When interviews with prospective teachers were examined, it was observed that they were aware of this. When the explanations of the prospective teachers were examined, it was seen that discussions made in the process of lesson planning, discussions and evaluations during the evaluation of the applications after observation made a contribution to their pedagogical knowledge. Highlights: Measurement - Evaluation Knowledge and Curriculum Knowledge are significant due to the role of instruction. With this study, it is provided to develop this two pieces of information which have important roles in the development of pedagogical knowledge of prospective teachers. This situation is important for the prospective teachers to perform the appropriate teaching to learning outcome in the program and also to develop the skills of measuring and evaluating to the extent that the program predicts. This study, carried in real life context, provides valid and reliable results
