A Classification of Mathematical Modeling Problems of Prospective Mathematics Teachers

Unraveling the Mystery of the Origin of Mathematical Problems: Using a Problem-Posing Framework With Prospective Mathematics Teachers

In this article, I model how a problem-posing framework can be used to enhance our abilities to systematically generate mathematical problems by modifying the attributes of a given problem. The problem-posing model calls for the application of the following fundamental mathematical processes: proving, reversing, specializing, generalizing, and extending. The given problem turned out to be a ric...

Mathematical Modeling / Computational Mathematics

My research is focused on mathematical modeling in the interdisciplinary areas of materials science and crystal growth and on development of advanced computational methods for tracking material/fluid surfaces and interfaces. Primarily, I am interested in modeling formation of a micro(nano)structure arrays as a result of the morphological (shape) instabilities of a solid film surfaces, material ...

Gender Differences of Elementary Prospective Teachers in Mathematical Beliefs and Mathematics Teaching Anxiety

In this study, any possible differences between mathematics beliefs and anxiety of prospective elementary mathematics teachers have been investigated according to their gender. In this purpose, 1, 2, 3 and 4 grade students from a Government University in Turkey were selected as a sample. Mathematics Teaching Anxiety Scale (MATAS) and Beliefs About Mathematics Survey (BAMS) has been used as data...
