Gürefe, Nejla; Güven Akdeniz, Dilşad
The authors examined the knowledge of middle level mathematics teachers instructing in inclusive classrooms to the hearing impairments students (HISs) or learning disabilities students (LDSs). The focus was on teachers’ understanding of students’ misconceptions related to the concept of angles. The study aimed to investigate the teachers’ role in identifying the underlying perceptions of misconceptions among HISs and LDSs as well as their ability to offer effective solutions. The mathematics teachers responsible for HISs and LDSs were the subjects of this cross-case study, with the unit of analysis being teachers’ knowledge of misconceptions concerning the concept of angles. Face-to-face interviews were employed to collect data, and subsequent analysis utilized a cross-case approach. The study findings revealed that both groups of teachers encountered numerous misconceptions for the first time. While teachers of HIS (HIST) identified the source of misconceptions as either teachers or students, teachers of LDS (LDST) more frequently attributed misconceptions to teachers and employed various representations to address and dispel these misconceptions. The authors recommended that teachers develop deep understanding of their students and identify potential misconceptions and that they explore diverse methods for taking precautions to prevent misconceptions.

The angle concept is central to the development of geometry knowledge, which is important and functional for everyday life. In this context, the aim of this study was to examine the understanding of the angle concept of middle school students with learning disabilities (LDs) and hearing impairment (HI). The participants of this study, which was a case study, were identified with the criterion and convenience sampling methods. The participants were two students, one of whom with LDs and the other had a HI, each of whom was in grade 6. Data collected through individual clinical interviews with the students were analyzed using the cross-case analysis method. According to the findings of the study, the angle conception of both students was limited to the shape of the angle, and both students were aware of the concept of direction in the angle, but the student with the LD perceived the angle more statically, and did not have enough knowledge about the angle measurement or its unit. It was seen that the student with the HI confused the angle and angle measure, but was aware of the various angles according to their measures.

Güven, Dilsad; Gürefe, Nejla; Arıkan, Ahmet
This study aims at investigating inclusive pedagogical content knowledge (IPCK) of mathematics teachers who teaches in inclusive classes including learning disabilities (LD) students or hearing impairments (HI) students in the context of angle concept. The study is a cross-case study which facilitates the comparison as one of the multiple case designs. The participants of the study are six Turkish mathematics teachers, three of them have experience of teaching to students with LD, and three of them students with HI. The data of the study is collected via semi-structured clinical interviews, and analysed using cross-case analysis. According to the findings of the study that examines the IPCK of teachers regarding the concept of angle, it can be said that teachers’ definitions of angle and their teaching strategies are insufficient. Additionally, it was found that HI teachers used much more multiple presentation such as speaking, writing, drawing shapes, and gestures than LD teachers.

This study aims to examine the professional self-esteem of pre-service primary school mathematics teachers in the context of their beliefs about the nature of mathematics. The study has a quantitative design and 220 pre-service mathematics teachers voluntarily participated in the study. In the data analysis of this study based on a quantitative research design, independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA and multiple regression analyzes were performed and the Pearson correlation coefficient was determined. According to the findings of the study, professional self-esteem and belief about the mathematics' nature are not affected by gender and grade level. In addition, professional self-esteem of the pre-service teachers who believe that mathematics is a branch of science open to exploration, knowledge generation, and related to other sciences and daily life, may be said to be higherpositive than the professional self-esteem of the pre-service mathematics teachers who perceive mathematics as a set of unrelated concepts and formulas or believe that mathematics is a deductive and precise body of knowledge.
