A Comparative Analysis of Ratio and Proportion Problems in Libyan and Turkish Mathematics Textbooks
Journal Title: International Journal of Educational Studies in Mathematics (IJESIM) - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
This study investigates the similarities and differences between ratio and proportion problems in Libyan mathematics textbooks (8th and 9th grades) and Turkish mathematics textbooks (6th and 7th grades). A content analysis methodology, based on a three-dimensional framework developed by Li, involving mathematical features, contextual features, and performance requirements is used and the use of technology is also considered. The results can be summarized as follows. In general, there were only small differences in the results for all three dimensions. Most of the problems analyzed required using multiple computation procedures to produce numerical answers, and focused more on the cognitive domain of knowing but less on applying and reasoning. In addition, none of the problems in the Libyan textbooks required the use of technology, while 1% of the problems in the Turkish ones did.
