- Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to determine the mistakes and possible misconceptions of pre-service mathematics teachers made about the Logo-based tasks involving the concepts of angle and rotation when they construct some geometrical shapes using Logo commands. For this purpose, in 2016-2017 academic year, 37 pre-service mathematics teachers participated in a "Computer based Mathematics Teaching Lesson" lasting 10 hours, in which they could learn and interact with Logo programming language. Then, a five performance tasks about the concept of angle and rotation were utilized to gather required data. The data were obtained from qualitative data collection methods through document analysis and clinical interview. As a result of findings of this study, most of the mistakes in pen-paper environment were because of geometrical features rather than Logo commands. These are focused on three aspects: rotation of angle, angle-edge relationship and missing/incorrect command. The ability to draw geometrical shapes using Logo primitives is limited for some participants but acceptable for others. It was recommended that teaching Logo should be applied with a constructive approach that gives limited feedback when certain geometrical concepts are being learned.
