Özet:

The aim of this study is to study the impact of the HTTM (History/Theory/Technology/Modeling) learning environment on the perceptions of mathematical thinking and mathematical modeling skills of scientists. The research participants are formed by students studying in a branch of a state university’s science teaching program. Pre-test-final test is a training that includes the HTTM learning environment with the experimental group in the research that adopted the single-group semi-experimental method. Data collection tools are the mathematical thinking scale, the Alexandria Sea Light HTTM activity and the mathematical modeling rubric. Nicel data analysis has been used by visual and variable statistical techniques. According to the results obtained, the HTTM learning process has developed the perceptions of mathematical thinking of the scientists candidates at both general and dimensional levels (higher-level thinking, mindfulness, mathematical thinking skills, problem solving). Similarly, the HTTM learning process has developed the mathematical modeling skills of the teachers candidates on the basis of both general and dimensional (compromising the problem, exposing the necessary strategic factors in the problem, creating assumptions, properly using mathematical symbols, determining the necessary mathematical concepts, exposing an effective problem solving strategy, creating appropriate mathematical models, achieving the desired solution from mathematical models and achieving different results, interpreting what they obtain according to the real life situation, trying to verify their achievements in different ways). In this direction, teachers or teachers candidates can be left alone with the HTTM learning process to develop their knowledge and skills in the technological pedagogical field.
