Abstract

Bilgisayar destekli matematik eğitimi (BDME) günümüz eğitimcilerinin ilgi odağı olmaya devam etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı BDME'de dinamik matematik öğrenme nesneleri (DMÖN) ile öğretimin matematik öğretmen adaylarının motivasyonu ve bilişsel yükü üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Karma araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan açıklayıcı desenin kullanıldığı çalışmanın örneklemini 24 matematik öğretmeni adayı oluşturmaktadır. Deney grubu, BDME kapsamında hazırlanan DMÖN ile öğrenme etkinliklerine katılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçları, DMÖN kullanılan BDME'nin öğretmen adaylarının motivasyonunu ve bilişsel yükünü önemli ölçüde etkilediğini göstermiştir. Kullanılan görseller ve grafikler öğretmen adayları tarafından ilginç, eğlenceli ve ilgi çekici olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuçlar, matematik öğretmen adaylarının görüşleri ve deneyimleri doğrultusunda elde edilen nitel verilerle birlikte analiz edilmiş ve nicel sonuçların nedenleri açıklanmıştır. DMÖN'leri üniversitelerin farklı bölümlerinde matematik dersi alan yükseköğretim öğrencilerine sunulabilir. Yüzyüze öğretimin yanı sıra mobil cihazlar aracılığıyla DMÖN’'leri ders dışı materyal olarak kullanımının sağlanması faydalı olabilir.

The Impact of Using Dynamic Mathematics Learning Objects on Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers’ Motivation and Cognitive Load Levels

Abstract

Computer-assisted mathematics education (CAME) continues to be the focus of interest for today's educators. This study aimed to investigate the impact of teaching with dynamic mathematics learning objects (DMLO) in CAME on pre-service mathematics teachers' motivation and cognitive load. The sample of the study, which used an explanatory design, one of the mixed research methods, consisted of 24 pre-service mathematics teachers. The experimental group participated in learning activities with DMLO prepared as part of CAME. The results of the study showed that CAME using DMLO significantly impacted the motivation and cognitive load of pre-service teachers. The visuals and graphics used were evaluated as interesting, fun and engaging by the pre-service teachers. The results were analyzed along with the qualitative data obtained in accordance with the pre-service mathematics teachers' opinions and experiences, and the reasons for the quantitative results were explained. DMLOs can be offered to higher education students taking mathematics courses in different departments of universities. In addition to regular teaching, it may be useful to ensure the use of DMLOs as extracurricular materials through mobile devices.
