Real-Life Connections, Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers, Teaching NumbersAbstract
The purpose of this research was to examine the real-life connections used by pre-service mathematics teachers during teaching numbers. For this purpose, it was determined how pre-service teachers made real life connections, which contexts they used and what they think about making connections between mathematics and real life. The case study method, a type of qualitative research, was used. The participants consisted of pre-service teachers who were enrolled in a teacher education program at a state university. The data were analyzed using Gainsburg's (2008) real-life connection categories and content analysis for real-life connections. According to the findings of the study, pre-service teachers generally used classic word problems and shopping-payment contexts to build real-life connections. As a result of the interviews, it was determined that the pre-service teachers thought that the subject of numbers and operations should be taught by connecting to real life.
