Abstract | This study was conducted with the aim of determining the views of mathematics teachers on the role of the student in learning mathematics. The case study method was used in the study. The study was conducted during the fall term of 2007-2008 academic year, with four mathematics teachers working in the public secondary and primary schools in Trabzon. A semi-structured interview form composed open-ended and scenario type questions, and a scale were used as the data collection tools. In the study, two interviews were carried out with each teacher which of each took average 60 minutes. In the analysis of the interviews, firstly the audio taped interviews were transcribed. The data obtained from interviews processed with content analysis and classified by using Magolda's Epistemological Reflection Model. By using Perry's Model, the results of scale was categorized and correlated with Magolda's levels. At the end of the study, it was found that all the participants were at the independent knowing level with respect to student role while they have some different opinions about the subject. It was also determined that although the participants were informed about discovery learning, they did not have sufficient experience in that issue. In this context, it is believed that future comprehensive studies with the aim of removing teachers' deficiencies regarding alternative teaching methods would help teachers in planning discovery learning environment and more likely to ensure higher expectations from students to be successful.
