Özet:

In the present study, the effects of using dynamic geometry software in active learning framework on students’ problem posing skills and their views about problem posing were examined. The participants consisted of 16 eighth-grade students. Data were collected by problem posing tests, open-ended questions, student diaries, and dynamic geometry software supported tasks. The study, designed with the embedded mixed method, lasted 13 weeks. The dependent t-test was used in the analysis of quantitative data, and descriptive analysis was performed in qualitative data. Problem posing skills of students examined according to use of mathematical language, grammar and expression, suitability to acquisitions, quantity and quality of data, solvability, originality, solution of the problem criteria. In the present study, it was determined that the use of dynamic geometry software in active learning framework developed students’ problem posing skills. The problems that students posed in the dynamic geometry software during the implementation process indicated improvement in terms of problem posing skills as the weeks passed. It was found that students had positive views about the problem posing process, while they experienced some difficulties in this process.
