Özet

The aim of this study is to determine the students' perceptions of mathematical proving who were attending the department of Mathematics and Computer Sciences in Arts and Science Faculty and the Department of Elementary School Mathematics Teaching in Education Faculty. For this purpose, the scale developed by Almedia (2001) and adapted to Turkish by Moral, Ugurel, Turnuklu and Yesildere (2006) was administered to the students in related departments. The findings of this study were statistically examined in terms of the students' departments and of their certain characteristics. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
