Özet:

 Problem-solving and problem-posing are among the important components of mathematics teaching. Many studies have revealed that problem-solving and problem-posing abilities are related to some psychological variables self-efficacy, attitude, belief, motivation, anxiety, etc.. In the current study, the relationship between problem-posing abilities, problem-solving abilities, problem-solving beliefs, and problem-posing self-efficacy was examined quantitatively. In addition, the mediating effect of problem-solving beliefs and problem-posing self-efficacy on the effect of problem-solving ability on problem-posing ability was analyzed. The research was conducted with pre-service teachers studying in the field of mathematics education, and as a result of the research, it was found that there was no statistically significant relationship between problem-solving abilities and problem-posing abilities. In the correlation analysis, a positive and statistically significant low-level relationship was found between problem-solving beliefs and problem-posing self-efficacy. As a result of mediation analysis, no mediation effect was found between problem-posing self-efficacy and problem-solving beliefs. The findings were discussed in the conclusion section of the study in line with the relevant literature.

 Problem çözme ve problem kurma matematik öğretiminin önemli bileşenleri arasında yer almaktadır. Problem çözme ve problem kurma becerilerinin bazı psikolojik değişkenlerle öz yeterlik, tutumu, inanç, motivasyon, kaygı vb. ilişkili olduğu yapılan birçok çalışmada ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Mevcut çalışmada ise problem kurma becerisi, problem çözme becerisi, problem çözme inancı ve problem kurma öz yeterliği arasındaki ilişki nicel yöntemle incelenmiştir. Ayrıca problem çözme becerisinin problem kurma becerisi üzerindeki etkisinde problem çözme inancı ve problem kurma öz yeterliğinin aracılık etkisi analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma matematik eğitimi alanında öğrenim gören öğretmen adaylarıyla gerçekleştirilmiş olup araştırma sonucunda problem çözme becerisi ile problem kurma becerisi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde ilişki olmadığı bulunmuştur. Korelasyon analizinde problem çözme inancı ile problem kurma özyeterliği arasında pozitif yönlü ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düşük düzeyde ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Aracılık analizi sonucunda problem kurma özyeterliği ile problem çözme inancının aracılık etkisi bulunmamıştır. Elde edilen bulgular çalışmanın sonuç bölümünde ilgili literatür doğrultusunda tartışılmıştır.
