Abstract

The purpose of this study is inquirying the prospective primary education math teachers’ skills of using analytic geometry field language and their attitudes. 350 prospective primary math teachers who are chosen randomly between universities of 7 regions in Turkey that have primary math teachers at 4. grade from sample of the study because of practice. The modal of the study is review modal. As a scale tool; Analytic Geometry Field Knowledge Skill Test that is developed by researcher who takes views from 3 experts and includes open-ended and multiple choice tests and Attitude Scale intended to prospective teachers’ using Analytic Geometry Field Language are used. While used questions aim to measure dominance to field language of prospective teachers, attitude test that validity and reliability are analyzed aims to measure prospective teachers’s attitudes toward analytic geometry. Applied test and datas obtained from scale are entered SPSS programme and ANOVA, t-test and correlation analysis is done for the purpose of inquiring relation between success and attitude during the analysing data. When the findings obtained from the result of analysis are inquired, the success and attitudes toward analytic geometry of prospective teachers don’t have significant differences in terms of sexes, graduated from secondary education, style of education and age. However; significant differences are observed according to studying variable. According to the findings; it shows that the attitudes of prospective teachers who have studied institutions about their proffession are more positive and their analytic geometry field language success are better. According to the findings the attitudes toward analytic geometry of prospective teachers don’t have significant differences in terms of their university which are still educated but success toward analytic geometry of prospective teachers have significant differences. With reference to this, Dicle and Gazi University's average scores are higher than Akdeniz and Dokuz Eylül Universities with a significant differences. And Dicle University's average score is higher than Sakarya and On Dokuz Mayıs Universities with a significant differences.
