The effect of teaching technologies and material design course of elementary school mathematics teacher candidates on the ideas of mathematical modeling

With the development of science and technology, communication and interaction take place on a global scale and some changes are taking place in our country accordingly. As in all areas of life, there have also been changes in the field of education and indirectly in mathematics education programs. One of the striking aspects of the mathematics curriculum is the detailed representation of mathematical models and modeling. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of studies on mathematical model and modeling. In this study, the effects of instructional technologies and material design course on mathematical modeling were investigated. For this purpose, 2015-2016 academic year easily accessible status sampling (sampling method) with the sampling method of Firat University Faculty of Education Mathematics Education, 50 people taking instructional technologies course and 50 people who did not take this course The interview form which was prepared in accordance with the purpose of the qualitative research was applied. The data obtained from the interview form were analyzed in two stages by using descriptive analysis and content analysis methods. As a result of the study, it was determined that teacher candidates' level of knowledge about mathematical modeling was insufficient.
