USE OF DIGITAL CONCEPT CARTOONS AND DIGITAL CONCEPT MAPS FOR ELIMINATION OF MISCONCEPTIONS IN SECONDARY SCHOOL MATHEMATICS COURSE: EXAMINATION OF OPINIONS OF TEACHERS

The use of technology in education gains importance day by day. In this case, the learning opportunities and student-teacher roles are changing and the learning environment is becoming rich. Within this change, it is important to reveal opinions of teachers about the use of digital concept cartoons (DCC) and digital concept maps (DCM) in mathematics course, which draw students' interest and which are more interesting teaching materials. In this context, the aim of the research is to reveal the opinions of teachers about the use of DCCs and DCMs in mathematics courses for the elimination of misconceptions seen in students. Qualitative method was used in the research. The application was performed with five different mathematics teachers in four different secondary school mathematics courses for six weeks during the spring semester of 2016-2017 academic year. As a result of the research, it was seen that teachers generally had positive opinions about the use of these tools when their opinions were examined.
