Abstract:

This study, designed as an action research, used a method chosen as a question-based learning adapted to the mathematical courses. In the implementation of the Action Plan, Chin E. Vd., ( 2016) adopted the survey-based mathematical teaching (STMÖ) model they created within the framework of the PRIMAS project. The mathematician candidates who took the basic mathematics 1 course were found to learn the information they learned the mathematics course in their previous training without questioning. The program is based on the basic mathematics 1 course. This application process and results are discussed in this article. In the first weeks of the application process, the teachers candidates were shown to react to this practice they were not used to. In the coming weeks, the teachers who are accustomed to the method have received opinions about the application of the teachers. The teachers’ opinions were gathered under four subjects. Teacher candidates have emphasized that under the subject of the nature of mathematics, their views of mathematics have changed, they have learned the logic of mathematics, that mathematics cannot be done by remembering, and the importance of the process to learn mathematics. In the method theme, they said they learned mathematics by questioning, thinking, not remembering, materializing, and they said they were unable to adapt to the method in the first weeks, and they were difficult. Under the subject of teaching skills, they pointed out that the method makes them feel like a teacher and they think they can now answer the student’s questions; and under the subject of sensational qualities, they pointed out that it is an exciting, good, useful and lesson over their expectations. There were a few teachers who said I was tired of the class and hoped to see different subjects.
