Abstract:

When the teaching programs are studied, it appears that the educational system aims to train individuals with integrated knowledge, skills and behavior in competencies. These qualifications, which are the skills that students will need in their personal, social, academic and business lives at both national and international levels, are specified in the Turkish Qualifications Framework. One of the eight fields of competence is expressed as mathematical competence. Mathematical competence is defined as developing and applying a mathematical thinking style to solve a series of problems faced in everyday life. In the framework of mathematical competence, the emphasis is made on the process, activity and knowledge built on a solid arithmetic skill. Mathematical competence includes the ability and desire to use mathematical modes of thinking (rational and spatial thinking) and presentation (formulas, models, fiction, graphics and tables) at different degrees. Acquisition of mathematical skills to students from primary school is important and necessary. When this is taken into account, the teachers have a great responsibility. Because class teachers are aware of the mathematical competence and that this competence is also important for developing activities, mathematical competence is also important for educating advanced individuals. Therefore, this research aims to study the field of "matematical competence" that is emphasized and aimed at developing in the teaching programmes according to the opinions of classmates. In the research, the quality research method was used and the status study from the quality research patterns was selected. The research work group is made up of class teachers who work in primary schools. In the creation of the work group, the technique of "cartridge sample" was used from the methods of sampling for the purpose. There were eight teachers in the group. The data collection technique was used by interviews and a semi-configured conversation form developed by researchers in the interviews. The data is analyzed by content analysis from the quality data analysis techniques. Recommendations have been made according to the findings.
