Implementation of Middle School Mathematics Teachers’ Origami-Based Lessons and Their Views about Student Learning

İngilizce (OpenAlex)

In the case study, the occurrence of student learning types in the origami-based mathematics classrooms was investigated based on teachers’ teaching. The study was performed in two stages. In the quantitative part of the study, the teaching of middle school mathematics teachers was observed to compare the different learning types based on their levels of constructivist-based teaching performances. Then, the stage was performed as qualitative part of the study. Qualitative data were collected through interviews, observations, and field notes in origami-based mathematics lessons and then analyzed. The participants’ performances separated into three levels were analyzed and reported with the help of qualitative data. The findings of the study illustrated that the existence of learning types represented by students in the origami-based lessons differentiated based on the teachers’ levels of constructivist-based teaching. In other words, it was observed that the middle school mathematics teachers illustrated different student learning types based on different level of performances about origami-based mathematics lessons. Hence, it can be stated that when origami takes place in mathematics lessons, student learning and use of origami effectively is directly related to the teachers. .
