    Preservice primary teachers' three dimensional thinking skills
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009) Delice, Ali; Ertekin, Erhan; Yazici, Ersen; Aydin, Emin
    This study investigates primary school preservice teachers' abilities in relation to figures, one of the basic concepts of geometry, and more specifically, to name figures; to draw solid figures from their given corresponding nets and the nets from the solids; and to sketch a three-dimensional structure on the plane from a given perspective. The sample consisted of 62 year 1 and 119 year 3 students registered in the Primary School Education programme at Selcuk University, Education Faculty, Department of Elementary Education in the 2007-2008 academic year. The study had a survey research design and a test consisting of open-ended items was administered for data collection. Descriptive statistics and t-tests were used in data analysis. The results indicated that preservice teachers encountered difficulties in naming rectangular prism-square prism and rectangular pyramid-rectangular prism as well as in drawing these three-dimensional solid figures from their corresponding nets. Moreover, first year students achieved a higher average success rate than third year students. In their undergraduate studies, preservice teachers were not provided with opportunities to take part in the process via a curriculum which involves activities, materials and projects that develop spatial skills.

    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MATHEMATICS ANXIETY AND LEARNING STYLES OF PRESERVICE MATHEMATICS TEACHERS
    (SOC PERSONALITY RES INC, 2009) Ertekin, Erhan; Dilmac, Buelent; Yazici, Ersen
    The aim was to determine the relationship between preservice mathematics teachers' mathematics anxiety and their learning styles. The Mathematics Anxiety Scale (MAS; Erktin, Donmez, & Ozel, 2006) was used to determine teacher trainees' mathematics anxiety, while the Marmara Learning Styles Scale (Otrar, 2006) was administered to determine their learning styles. The correlation coefficients indicate significant relationships between preservice teachers' mathematics anxiety levels and their teaming styles.
