Özet
The purpose of this study was to determine how pre-service elementary mathematics teachers' attitudes towards uncertainty and probability and its teaching vary by their year of education and gender. A relational survey model was implemented in accordance with the quantitative paradigm. There were 212 participants in the study, which used a maximum diversity sampling method. We used the independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson's product-moment correlation analysis. Compared to female pre-service teachers, male pre-service teachers had lower negative attitudes towards uncertainty. In the affective component, there was a significant difference in favor of male pre-service teachers, while in the behavioral component, there was a significant difference in favor of female pre-service teachers towards teaching probability, and in the value component, it was significant in favor of female pre-service teachers. According to the year of education, significant differences were found. Additionally, pre-service teachers' attitudes towards probability, its teaching, and uncertainty were weakly correlated (r =.212, p<.01). We suggest reorganizing the curriculum on the basis of axiomatic reasoning with an understanding of the uncertainty in life, and that this symbolism should extend to other disciplines as well as mathematics. © 2023, Duzce University, Faculty of Education.
