Özet:

 


        The aim of this study
is to analyze the knowledge on graphics within middle school mathematics from
an anthropological perspective. The study, which was carried out in framework
of the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic, conducted a document analysis
with the purpose of determining the institutional qualities of middle school
mathematics. In this context, the study examined a variety of documents
including mathematics curriculums that are used in Elementary Mathematics
Special Teaching Methods institutions in addition to middle school mathematics
course books, books on mathematics instruction, and the notes taken by faculty
members. The data that were obtained from document analysis were analyzed with
ecological and praxeological approaches. Based on the ecological approach, the
study identified the qualities of institutional recognition by revealing the
habitat and function (niche) of the graphic knowledge in its institution, while
the praxeological approach revealed the mathematical organizations consisting
the types of graphic-related tasks in the institution, techniques, the technologies
that explain the technique, and the theories which explain and defend the
necessity of the technology. The study concluded that the use of graphics as a
goal, a tool, and both as goal and tool the institution was addressed to the
instruction of subjects (ratio and proportion, percentage, curves, equations
and inequalities, equation systems, functions, statistics, and probability) in
numbers and operations, algebra and data processing learning fields, for the
improvement of mathematics literacy, problem-solving, communication,
association, and psycho-motor skills. The research institution employed three
mathematical organizations (graphic reading and interpretation, graphic
creating, making appropriate conversions between graphics) including 11 types of
tasks in total.
