- Abstract
The aim of the study is to determine the relation between the self-efficacy of elementary school students in geometry and their geometric thinking levels. In the Study, the aim is also to determine whether the self-efficacy for the geometry of elementary school students differs with gender, grade, math achievements, pre-school education factors. The study which was designed on a relational model is based on 110 randomly selected students of a primary school in Bursa, Yıldırım from the 6th, 7th and 8th grade. In the study, in order to collect data "Van Hiele Geometry Test", "Towards Geometry Self-Efficacy Scale" and personal information forms were used. Independent groups T-test, ANOVA and Pearson Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze data. The study results showed that geometry self-efficacy significantly differs with mathematics achievement, gender and class levels and also showed that geometry self-efficacy and geometric thinking levels consist statistically a positive but weak relationship between. According to the findings, some suggestions to improve geometry self-efficacy and geometrical thinking levels of elementary school students are presented.
