| description | The purpose of this study was to identify and describe primary and upper elementary mathematics teachers’ views about the new elementary mathematics curriculum (NC). Data was collected from 22 teachers working in a district of Çorum through a semi-structure interview protocol and analyzed by qualitative methods. Participants claimed that the NC had positive influence on students’ learning, teachers’ and students’ roles, and students’ motivation. However, lack of time, materials, and students’ prerequisite skills negatively influenced the NC’s implementation. Teachers claimed that the NC did not consider local differences and teachers’ guide book was insufficient in helping them. The study showed that although the teachers adopted the NC’s ideas, more effective inservice training was needed to ensure its successful implementation |
