- Abstract
This study has focused on how prospective mathematics teachers understand the geometric representation of double integral. The basic qualitative research method was adopted as the research design in accordance with the research purpose. Six participants have been asked six questions. Later, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participants. In this study, the data obtained from questionnaire form and interviews were analyzed with open and axial coding. As a result of this research, it was observed that the concept images of prospective mathematics teachers were grouped into two categories as "area" and "volume". It was determined that the participants acted with an intuitive approach without having to establish a relationship between the concept definition and the concept image, the ∬ in the symbol of the double integral caused the participants to think of it as a two-dimensional geometric structure and their image of the concept of the single integral was very active. The findings obtained in this research show that there are problems in understanding the concept of the double integral, which is the first step of generalizing to multiple integrals, and that educators should produce solutions for this subject.
