Özet
The importance of mathematical thinking for mathematics education gradually increases. Thus, it is important to determine mathematical thinking skill levels of the teachers and prospective teachers, who will educate students, and take measures for improving these skill levels. The purpose of this study is to examine mathematical thinking skill levels of the prospective mathematics teachers, and to determine whether these levels vary by the grades prospective teachers attend. The study was carried out with 146 prospective teachers attending the Department of Mathematics Education at a state university in the 2013-2014 fall semester. The study was conducted by means of descriptive research method, which is a non-experimental research design. Open-ended questions regarding mathematical thinking skills were administered to prospective students for data collection by taking into consideration the definition of mathematical thinking. Each one of the administered questions was analyzed based on the SOLO (Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes) taxonomy. The research result shows that mathematical thinking skills of the prospective teachers are at uni-structural level according to the SOLO taxonomy. In addition, it is seen that the 2nd and 3rd grade prospective teachers have higher mathematical thinking skill scores in comparison to the 1st and 4th grade prospective teachers.
