To Examine How The Skills Of Class Teacher Candidates In Terms Of Interpreting Tables and Graphics Hange According To Mathematical Reasoning Skills

The purpose of this study is to examine how the skills of class teacher candidates in terms of interpreting tables and graphics change according to their class levels and mathematical reasoning skills. This study has been conducted among teacher candidates studying at a state university, department of class teachers, in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Grades. 220 teacher candidates participated in the study. Data collection tools have been used “Mathematical Reasoning Assessment Scale”, “Table Interpretation Test” and “Graphics Interpretation Test” in this study. The findings of the study showed that the mathematical reasoning skills of the teacher candidates varied meaningfully according to the class levels. There is a meaningful relation between the table interpretation and graphic interpretation performances of the teacher candidates in terms of mathematical reasoning skill levels.
