EVALUATION ON VISUALIZATION AND CONCRETIZATION IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION

13773

This study aims to determine to what extent visualization and concretization gain acceptance by means of comparison of national and international literature about visualization and concretization in mathematics education. In the study, 38 publications from the publication of “Principles and Standards for School Mathematics” by NTCM (1989) to 2013 and international literature about visualization and concretization in mathematics education that are in Turkish and English were analyzed by means of determined databases. Examining the databases based on literature review, 38 publications regarding visualization and concretization in mathematics education, being nationally or internationally published, being in article, paper or thesis formats, having a qualitative, quantitative or mixed method, the distribution of research studies in terms of years and the distribution of them in terms of subject matters were analyzed. As a result of the findings, it was revealed that there are not enough publications in order to say that the subjects regarding the visualization and concretization in mathematics education become widespread but there is a continuous increase in terms of the research studies on visualization in mathematics education. It was seen that the number of the publications on visualization in mathematics education is lower than those conducted in abroad. Furthermore, what matters in the research studies on visualization in mathematics education was also revealed in the study.
