Abstract:

This study focuses on the views and practices of both secondary school and pre-service mathematics teachers in Turkey regarding the seven principles for good practice in education. Its sample consisted of two groups; one group consisted of 79 pre-service mathematics teachers in either their second or fourth years of undergraduate study at university education departments, while the other consisted of seven mathematics teachers currently working at secondary schools. This study implemented a survey to determine the views and practices of the sample regarding the seven principles for good practice in education created by Chickering and Gamson (1987). For most of the items relating to all of the principles, it was determined that current mathematics teachers have more positive views than pre-service mathematics teachers regarding the effectiveness of the seven principles. In terms of gender, it was determined that females have more positive views of the principles than males
