Pernyataan Masalah :
Tichá & Hošpesová (2012) indicated that pre-service teacher
education students enter university with naive ideas about the nature
of mathematics and mathematics education.

Developing pre-service teachers’ mathematical knowledge structures during their

education tenure is very important for their professional development, and it is
possible to achieve this goal through courses in teacher education programs.

One of the topics they will subsequently teach in primary schools is

problem posing including many mathematical concept such as
fraction.
Research objectives:

It was aimed to determine pre-service primary teachers’ knowledge structures

of fraction through problem posing activities.

A problem posing test consisting of two questions was used and the participants
were asked to generate as many as problems based on the following conditions: i)
𝟏 𝟑 𝟏 𝟑
using both 𝟐 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟒 fractions, and ii) using either 𝟐 or 𝟒 fractions.

Analyzing pre-service teachers' knowledge of fractions by means of problem posing

will help teacher educators to develop their knowledge structure of fraction. Doing
that will contribute to pre-service teachers are well equipped regarding problem
posing.

• In this study, main data were collected

through a problem posing task, and clinical
