Course Objective

The aim of the course is to provide a basis for the concepts of theory, theoretical framework, theoretical / conceptual framework and model and to introduce the theoretical approaches used in mathematics education. In this context, different theories and approaches used in mathematics education will be introduced to students by supporting them with research problems, and their knowledge of these concepts, which are the basis of scientific research, will be supported.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Introduction of theory, theoretical framework, theoretical / conceptual framework and models
2   Understanding the role and function of theory, theoretical framework, theoretical / conceptual framework and model in a scientific research
3   Recognizing the theoretical framework, theoretical / conceptual framework and models used in current studies in the field of mathematics education
4   Comparing the theoretical framework, theoretical / conceptual framework and models used in current studies in the field of mathematics education
5   Having knowledge about the theoretical framework, theoretical / conceptual framework and models used in current studies in the field of mathematics education and how to use them in their own studies
