Özet:

 The aim of this study is to reveal the metaphorical perceptions of mathematics teacher candidates about the concepts of model, modelling, mathematical model and mathematical modeling. The research was carried out at Kocaeli University in the spring semester of the 2021-2022 academic year and 78 volunteer teacher candidates participated. Phenomenology among qualitative research methods was used in the research. It is like Model  Modeling  Mathematical model  Mathematical modeling ...; because ... sentences were applied, and after producing a metaphor for the concepts, they were asked to state the reason for it. 59 metaphors belonging to the concept of model, 63 metaphors of the concept of modelling, 70 of the concepts of mathematical model and 69 different metaphors of the concept of mathematical model were created. In addition, metaphors created separately for each concept were categorized according to their characteristics. With 32 people for the concept of model, 21 people for the concept of modeling, 34 people for the concept of mathematical model, and 14 people for the concept of mathematical modeling, the most used category was goods. All the metaphors created about the concepts have positive characteristics, so the perceptions of the pre-service teachers about modeling in general are positive. With this, it has been determined that the reasons for some metaphors produced do not fully reflect the context, a direct definition is given, and the knowledge and awareness of the pre-service teachers about modeling are lacking. It is recommended to examine the similarities and differences between the views of prospective teachers and teachers studying in different departments on modeling and mathematical modeling.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı, matematik öğretmeni adaylarının model, modelleme, matematiksel model ve matematiksel modelleme kavramlarına ait metaforik algılarının ortaya çıkarılmasıdır. Araştırma 2021  2022 eğitim öğretim yılı bahar döneminde Kocaeli Üniversitesinde yapılmış ve 78 gönüllü öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemleri arasından olgubilim kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılara Model  Modelleme  Matematiksel model  Matematiksel modelleme ... gibidir; çünkü ... cümlelerinin yer aldığı anket uygulanmış ve kavramlara ait birer metafor ürettikten sonra bunun gerekçesini belirtmeleri istenmiştir. Model kavramına ait 59 adet, modelleme kavramına ait 63 adet, matematiksel model kavramına ait 70 adet ve matematiksel model kavramına ait 69 adet farklı metafor oluşturulmuştur. Ayrıca her bir kavram için ayrı ayrı olmak üzere oluşturulan metaforlar özelliklerine göre kategorileştirilmiştir. Model kavramı için 32 kişi, modelleme kavramı için 21 kişi, matematiksel model kavramı için 34 kişi, matematiksel modelleme kavramı için 14 kişi ile en çok kullanılan kategori eşya olmuştur. Kavramlarla ilgili oluşturulan metaforların tümü olumlu özellik taşımaktadır, dolayısıyla öğretmen adaylarının genel olarak modellemeye ilişkin algıları pozitiftir. Bununla birlikte; üretilen bazı metaforların gerekçelerinin tam olarak bağlamı yansıtmadığı, direkt olarak tanım verildiği ve öğretmen adaylarının modelleme konusundaki bilgilerinin ve farkındalıklarının eksik olduğu saptanmıştır. Farklı anabilim dallarında öğrenim gören öğretmen adaylarının ve öğretmenlerin modelleme ve matematiksel modellemeye yönelik görüşleri arasındaki benzerlik ve farklılıkların incelenmesi önerilmektedir.
