MATEMATİKSEL VE OLASILIKSAL MUHAKEME ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİNİN İNCELENMESİ: 7. SINIF ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

The current study aims at determining the relationship between seventh graders’ mathematical and probabilistic reasoning. The study was carried out with 167 seventh-grade students. As data collection tool, “Mathematical Reasoning Test (MRT)” and “Probabilistic Reasoning Test (PRT)” were developed and used. In analysing the data, Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) between participants’ scores of each test was computed. Some sample responses of the students regarding some questions in the test were also presented directly. Analysis shows that there is a significant correlation between seventh graders’ mathematical reasoning and probabilistic reasoning.
