摘要:Understanding a problem is as important as solving it to understand the meaning of
mathematics. It is a widespread view that problem-solving skills help individuals to
overcome the problems easily in their daily lives. An individual with problem-solving
skills is a self-confident, creative and independent thinker. It can be explicable that the
societies formed by these individuals can easily solve the problems. In this vein, this
study is aimed to determine the relationship between the acquisition of problemsolving
skills that play an important role in mathematics alongside two dimensions of
classroom management which are time management and plan-program management.
It is thought that there is a close relationship between these two dimensions; problemsolving
skills. The types of problems are divided into two; routine and non-routine. The
aim is to get opinions about how these problems will be taught by mathematics
teachers, at what level they will be used in class and what methods they will use for
them. The study was conducted by doing a content analysis of qualitative research
methods. The sample group which is randomly determined from five provinces of
North Cyprus is composed of mathematics teachers who teach at the 9th grade level.
The data was collected through semi-structured interview forms. Content analysis
technique was used in the evaluation of the obtained data. As a result, it was found out
that the mathematics teachers who work in the Ministry of National Education and
teach at the 9th grade, have been given importance to problem-solving skills such as,
problem-solving duration and problem-solving methods in their classes. In addition,
the teachers pointed out that the time given is not sufficient at schools and they could
not give enough importance to plan-program activities. They also pointed out that
although the annual and monthly plans specified by the Ministry, the desired variety of
questions could not be provided by different methods.
