摘要:This study identified the extent to which prospective mathematics teachers attending a teacher training program were able todescribe certain basic mathematical concepts, namely the set of real numbers, the set of RxR, rational numbers, repeating decimals, absolute value, equations, inequations, relations and functions. It was designed as a case study. The sample was composed of 58 prospective mathematics teachers who attended a teacher training program at Nigde University's Faculty of Education during the spring of the 2014 -2015 academic year and took the courses School Experience and Special Teaching Methods as part of this program. The data were collected using a survey with 16 open-ended questions about the mathematical concepts. The data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the prospective teachers (PT) had difficulty describing the mathematical concepts properly and had scientifically inaccurate concept images. The presentation of the results is followed by recommendations
