标题：Scaffolding students in non-routine problem solving environment: The case of two mathematics teachers Rutin olmayan problem çözme sürecinde öğrencilerin desteklenmesi: İki matematik öğretmeninin durumu
摘要：The task of the teacher in designing learning environments and in guiding students throughout learning activities can be generally defined as scaffolding. Most of the students have difficulties in solving non-routine problems and cannot effectively use problem solving strategies. In this study, scaffoldings offered by the teachers for solving non-routine problems were examined using scaffolding techniques determined by Roehler and Cantlon (1997). Two mathematics teachers were participated in the study and the data were collected in an optional mathematics course for sixth graders via video-record of the teachers’ discourses on the solution of a same non-routine problem. The data were analysed using content analysis technique. The results showed that teachers intervened intensively in terms of scaffolding and the aims of these interventions mostly consisted of focusing students’ attention on the task and its accomplishment; while students centred techniques were less utilized. The results also showed that, although the scaffoldings provided by the teachers vary according to the way chosen for introducing the problem, they provided a dynamic and multi-dimensional scaffolding instead of adopting a fixed and unidimensional scaffolding.
