Objectives of the Course
The aim of the course is to develop students' in-depth understanding of the philosophy of qualitative and quantitative research, basic patterns and approaches, data collection and analysis methods, and the knowledge and skills to evaluate and criticize scientific studies in the field of mathematics education by using these processes. At the end of this process, the aim is to create the competence and desire of the learners to prepare and present a portfolio study that includes the planning and finalization of a mixed study process on a subject in line with their interests in their field.
