Geometric Habits of Mind: The Meaning of Quadrilaterals for Elementary School Student Teachers

Abstract: The primary purpose of this study is to determine the geometric habits of mind of classroom teacher candidates and the level of these habits. The study was conducted with 55 elementary education program students studying at an education faculty in the 2017-2018 spring term. The criterion used in the determination of the study group is that the teacher candidates should have knowledge about almost all the courses in the classroom education program and have taken courses I and II in mathematics teaching.

“…In general, prospective mathematics teachers are expected to reach these levels to instruct quadrilaterals effectively and not to be among the reason why students face difficulties while learning quadrilaterals (Harper & Driskell, 2021;Ndlovu, 2014;Özdemir & Çekirdekci, 2022;Şahin & Başgül, 2020). As discussed by Avcu (2022), when teaching definitions of quadrilaterals, teachers should know that (1) the definition must include only necessary and sufficient conditions (common content knowledge) and (2) multiple equivalent and non-equivalent definitions could be generated for a quadrilateral (specialised content knowledge).…”
