Overall Educational Objective The main focus of this course is how technology enhances and extends the learning and teaching of mathematics, and also how technology is used to develop tasks. Students will revisit their own learning of mathematics and examine mathematical concepts through problem solving with technology. Students will use various technological tools and they will be engaged in critical reflection and discussion about teaching and learning of mathematics with technology. Students will develop the required knowledge to apply technology as a learning and teaching tool for mathematics.
Course Description This course is designed to prepare prospective mathematics teachers to use technology in their classrooms to help students in formulating and solving mathematics problems in the middle and high school curricula.
Course Description in Turkish Bu ders, ilköğretim matematik öğretmen adaylarının teknolojiyi, öğrencilerinin problem oluşturma ve çözme becerilerini geliştirmelerine ve etkinlik geliştirmelerine yardımcı olacak şekilde kullanmaları konusunda hazırlanmaları için tasarlanmıştır.

1) Apply effective and student-centered specific teaching methods and strategies in order to improve students’ mathematical thinking and problem solving skills.
2) Design lesson plans based on how students learn mathematics and students’ difficulties in learning mathematics.
3) Demonstrate knowledge in various areas of mathematics (such as analysis, algebra, linear algebra, geometry, topology, mathematical modeling, statistics and probability, differential equations) and nature of science and mathematics.
4) Display knowledge and skills in developing programs, teaching technologies and materials in order to teach mathematics in effective and meaningful ways based on student needs.
5) Evaluate and assess students’ individual developmental paths, difficulties in understanding mathematics in multiple ways and use assessment results in improving teaching and learning.
6) Have an awareness of students’ social, cultural, economic and cognitive differences and plan the lessons and activities based on this awareness.
7) Collaborate and respectively communicate with colleagues and student parents such that students learn mathematics in best ways and at the same time feel happy and safe. Work effectively within teams of their own discipline and multi-disciplinary as well as take individual responsibility when they work alone.
8) Have awareness of need for life-long learning. Access information and following developments in education, science and technology. Display skills of solving problems related to their field, renew and improve themselves and critically analyze and question their own work. Use information technologies in effective ways.
9) Use scientific investigation effectively to solve problems in mathematics teaching and learning based on scientific methods. Critically investigate, analyze and make a synthesis of data, and develop solutions to problems based on data and scientific sources.
10) Exhibit skills of communicating effectively in oral and written Turkish and command of English at least at B2 general level of European Language Portfolio.
11) Have awareness of and sensitivity to different cultures, values and students’ democratic rights.
12) Display ethical and professional responsibilities. Have awareness of national and universal sensitivities that are expressed in National Education Fundamentals Laws.
13) Demonstrate consciousness and sensitivity towards preserving nature and environment in the process of developing lesson activities.
14) Display knowledge in national culture and history as well as international cultures and recognize their richness. Have awareness of and participate to developments in society, culture, arts and technology.

Required/Recommended ReadingsPTMT (Preparing Teaching Mathematics with Technology) books and materials Open source websites and software such as GeoGebra, CODAP, Seeing Theory, Gapminder, Desmos… Several articles and weekly readings will be assigned through BlackBoard.
Teaching MethodsFlipped learning; cooperative groups; case study; peer feedback; reflection and discussion
Homework and ProjectsNone
Laboratory WorkNone
Computer UseThe course heavily requires use of computers, thus students are expected to bring their own computers to use.
Other Activities1. Active Participation: Student participation in every aspect of the course is essential. Active participation requires attendance, research, reading, reflection, participation in class discussions, sharing observations made in K-12 schools and classrooms, asking questions and giving feedback to students who are making presentations. 2. Attendance: Attendance in class activities is very important. Working collaboratively on projects/research/reports/presentations is an important part of a teacher/counselor's role. Class participation/collaborative produce grades will only be given to students who attend the class and work with their classmates on the projects. 3. Accommodations: Any student needing special accommodations (testing, seating, etc.) must notify the instructor within the first two weeks of class. 4. Academic Integrity: In meeting course requirements, honesty is essential and students are expected to abide by MEF policy of academic integrity, prohibiting cheating, plagiarizing, or otherwise falsifying results of any work. This applies to exams, papers, reports, and all other assignments. Any violation of this policy will be reported to the university administration, and penalties ranging from failure of the assignment to failure of the course will be enforced. 5. Email Addresses: Emails assigned by the university must be used to communicate by the instructor and classmates. 6. If you miss more than 30% of the course (that is more than 12 hours), you forfeit your right to do the final project and will receive a grade of FC. Rules for attendance: The student must attend at least 70% of the classes. Statement on academic dishonesty and plagiarism: YOK Disciplinary Regulation
