The purpose of this current study was to investigate the
reasoning stages of in-service middle and high school mathematics teachers in
geometry. There was a total of 148 in-service middle and high school
mathematics teachers involved in the study. ParticipantsŐ geometric reasoning
stages were determined through a multiple-choice geometry test. The independent
samples t-test with α = 0.05 was used in the analysis of the quantitative
data. The study demonstrated that the in-service middle and high school
mathematics teachers showed all the van Hiele levels, visualization, analysis, ordering,
deduction, and rigor, and that there was no difference in terms of mean
reasoning stage between in-service middle and high school mathematics teachers.
Moreover, there was no gender difference found regarding the geometric thinking
levels.
