Türkiye’de Yayımlanan ve Matematiksel Bir İçerik Barındıran Üstbiliş Temalı Makalelere Yönelik İnceleme

Abstract

In this research, it is aimed to review the metacognition-themed articles, which have been conducted and published in Turkey on the topic of the mathematics education, within the scope of methodological features (method, study group, data collection tools, and data analysis techniques) and in terms of the subjects/reached results. The research was designed with a descriptive content analysis method. 117 journals published in our country were determined and all the issues of these articles, which can be reached online, were analysed using the keywords of metacognition, metacognitive, beyond cognition, cognitive awareness, and executive cognition and 41 articles were included in the research. The obtained data were subjected to a descriptive analysis. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that approximately half of the metacognitive themed articles were conducted with a quantitative approach and descriptive methods. It was noticed that about half of the articles were conducted at the secondary school level, in the second place, that the university level took place with a one-fourth of rate. In terms of the data collection tools, it was found that mostly questionnaire/ open-ended questionnaire/ scale/ tests were used, observation, interview, think-aloud protocol, and documents were applied; in terms of the data analysis techniques, the correlation, descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, one-way variance analysis, and regression analysis were used. It was reached that when sorted by frequency the correlational, leveling, metacognitive behaviours of the participants in the problem-solving processes were investigated, and experimental researches were conducted.
