    The aim of this study is to investigate pre-service teachers' learning styles in terms of gender and grade level variables. The study was carried out at spring semester of 2010. The sample of the study consisted of 347 pre-service teachers at the Department of Primary and Science Teacher Education in Faculty of Education at Artvin Çoruh University. "Kolb Learning Style Inventory" was used as a data collection tool. The data were analyzed by using frequency, percentage, means, standard deviation, independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA. The results show that the dominant learning style among the students is accommodator and it is followed by convergent, divergent and assimilator learning style. There was not significantly difference between students' learning style and gender and between students' learning style and grade level.

    The aim of this study is to investigate mathematics teachers' views about measurement-evaluation dimension of new Turkish geometry curriculum. With this aim, 15 mathematics teachers who are selected from Artvin, Bayburt, Rize and Trabzon were carried out semi-structured interview. As a result, it was seen that teachers in our samples tend to apply traditional measurement and evaluation approach as they find the new measurement-evaluation dimension difficult and uneasy using the tools and methods. And the teachers are not aware of which tools are to be used in alternative measurement and evaluation approach or they do not know how to use it. Also, there are teachers who have negative views about new approach. These teachers have stated the main issue occurs due to time limitations, crowded classes, lack of tools and materials and density of class hours.

    It is very important to identify and correct the mistakes that students make about mathematical concepts. The purpose of this study is to detect the secondary school students' misconceptions about functions in the 2009-2010 academic year. Research data was collected 61 students, included 9 th,10 th and 11 th grade students selected randomly, in Erzincan (2009-2010) academic year. Data collection tools consist of knowledge test and interviews. Frequency tables and percentages were used by analyzing students' explanations as answers to questions on the function information test. Pearson correlation was chosen to state the meaningful difference among the questions, if there is any, on the Function information test also included four different categories. Student, being believed to be in error, were interviewed with the help of data obtained from Function information test. As a result of the interview, it is most commonly observed that students make mistakes to understand whether a graphic is a function graphic or not, and about the demonstration of the table and function especially on the function information test.

    The aim of this study is to develop an attitude scale towards multi-grade classrooms (AMC) for elementary school teachers who work in the Multi-grade Classrooms. The research was carried out with the total 215 elementary school teachers in Tokat and Samsun provinces in Turkey. The study carried out in five stages that are literature review, creating item pool, expert opinions, administer of scale and computing the reliability and validity. The five point rating scale consisted of 50 items was developed. The draft scale obtained has been applied to the total 205 elementary school teachers and as a result of factor analysis; the number of items in draft scale was reduced to 43. The Cronbach-Alpha internal integrity coefficient of the final version of the scale was found to be 0.81 after factor analysis was carried out. The scale has been ready to be used.
