Resumen
- This study reported the specific findings of a larger comparative study concerning Turkish and German mathematics teachers� values. The main focus was on the teaching experience of the mathematics teachers. Interactions related to nationality were also of interest. The research methodology employed in this study was a descriptive study. The teachers involved in the study were 27 German and 33 Turkish mathematics teachers. A five-point Likert-type questionnaire was used as the data collection instrument. The data were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics for analysis. Effect size coefficients were also calculated. The results showed that: (a) the teaching experience between the countries has a significant effect on the values and (b) both Turkish and German math teachers� level of experience does not have a significant impact on their values.
