Description
Summary:The general aim of the study is to examine the problems posed by secondary school students for the arithmetic mean mathematically and linguistically. In order to determine the problem posing skills of students, the “Problem Posing Test for Arithmetic Mean” was used. Within the scope of the data analysis, a rubric with two different levels, being the mathematical and linguistic dimension, was created for the problem posing test. In accordance with the results of the study, the problems posed by the students were determined to be at a moderate level in the mathematical dimension according to the average of the scores obtained in the mathematical dimension. However, according to the average scores obtained in the linguistic dimension, the problems posed by the students were determined to be at a high level. Moreover, there was no significant relationship between the mathematical dimension scores and linguistic dimension scores.
