Abstract
Bu çalışmanın amacı 10. sınıf öğrencilerinin çokgen ve dörtgen, 11. sınıf öğrencilerinin ise çember kavramına ilişkin bilgi oluşturma süreçlerini APOS teorisi çerçevesinde incelemektir. Çalışma durum çalışması ile desenlenmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu bir devlet ortaöğretim kurumunda 10. ve 11. sınıfa devam etmekte olan 10 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma sonunda öğrencilerin çoğunluğunun çokgen kavramını etkin bir şekilde kullanamadığı görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin çoğunluğunun eşkenar dörtgenin alanı ile üçgenin alanı, yamuğun alanı ile üçgen ve dikdörtgenin alanları arasında ilişki kuramadıkları tespit edilmiştir. Hiçbir öğrencinin dikdörtgenin alanı ile üçgenin alanı, karenin alanı ile üçgenin alanı ve dikdörtgenin alanı ile karenin alanı arasında ilişki kuramadığı görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin çoğunluğunun çemberin açısı ile üçgenin açısı, yay parçasının uzunluğu ile "oran–orantı" arasında ilişki kuramadığı tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin hiçbirinin daire diliminin alanı ile oran–orantı arasındaki koordinasyonu sağlayamadıkları görülmüştür.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the knowledge construction processes of 10th grade students about the concepts of polygon and quadrilateral and 11th grade students about the concept of circle within the framework of APOS theory. The study was designed with a case study. At the end of the study, it was seen that the majority of students could not use the concept of polygon effectively. It was determined that the majority of the students could not establish a relationship between the angle of the circle and the angle of the triangle, the length of the arc segment and "ratio-proportion". It was observed that none of the students could ensure the coordination between the area of the circle slice and ratio. At the end of the study, some results were obtained regarding the areas of special quadrilaterals.
