This study was aimed at exploring the key factors affecting postgraduate students-teachers' translation of a theoretical framework from English into their native language. The research was carried out with 21 Turkish postgraduate students who were also mathematics teachers, based on the theoretical framework of the documentational approach to didactics. The research was designed as a case study. The data were obtained from postgraduate students' weekly translation papers, the recordings of collective translation sessions, and the researchers' and the postgraduate students' reflective notes over a period of 7 weeks. The data were analyzed using descriptive and content analysis in order to investigate the factors influencing difficulties the postgraduate students had while translating. The analyses showed that the task of translating a theoretical framework at the postgraduate level led student-teachers to work on the meaning of the concepts and the unity of the framework and to reinterpret the source text. The research showed that the translation of the theoretical framework was strongly influenced by syntactic, sociocultural, and academic/educational differences, and these factors were interrelated.
The √3 rectangle in islamic geometric patterns
(Symmetrion, 2023-01-01) Şahin, Hatice Büşra; ŞAHİN, HATİCE BÜŞRA; Tapan-Broutin, Menekşe Seden; TAPAN BROUTIN, MENEKŞE SEDEN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Eğitim Fakültesi/ Matematik Eğitimi Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-1860-852X; W-2281-2017
In this research, eleven different six-fold Islamic geometric patterns were analyzed geometrically, and the geometric relationships between the patterns were revealed. In the context of the Girih mode, the contributions of the small pattern mold constructed by using the symmetry axes to the geometric analysis of the patterns are emphasized. Patterns were considered whole, and small pattern molds were found using axes of symmetry. We have demonstrated that the rectangles of the small pattern mold of the six-fold patterns are root 3 rectangle. This rectangle is one of the mathematical concepts used in Islamic geometric patterns.
