Associate Professor RECEP BİNDAK is a faculty member at Gaziantep University's Faculty of Education, Department of Mathematics and Science Education. With a Doctorate in Mathematics from Dicle University (2004), he has built an extensive academic career spanning over two decades, including positions at Mardin Artuklu University and Gaziantep University's Technical Sciences Vocational School.
His educational background includes a Doctorate (2000-2004) from Dicle University's Institute of Sciences in Mathematics, a Master's degree (1994-1997) from Yuzuncuyil University's Institute of Sciences in Mathematics, and a Bachelor's degree (1987-1991) in Mathematics Teaching from Dicle University's Faculty of Education.
BINDAK's research focuses on mathematics education, statistics, and educational psychology, with particular emphasis on mathematical self-efficacy, problem-solving attitudes, measurement techniques, and quantitative research methods. His work bridges theoretical statistical concepts with practical educational applications, making significant contributions to both fields. He has published extensively on topics ranging from mathematical justification skills in middle school students to psychometric properties of Likert scales and teacher burnout predictors.
His recent publications (2018-2024) reveal a strong trend toward interdisciplinary research combining mathematics education with psychological factors affecting student performance. The majority of his work centers on middle school mathematics education, examining variables like self-efficacy, problem-solving attitudes, and mathematical justification skills. He also maintains active research in statistical methodology, particularly in bootstrap methods and nonparametric techniques, demonstrating his dual expertise in both educational theory and quantitative analysis.

Professor BINDAK has supervised 22 graduate theses (1 doctoral and 21 master's), reflecting his commitment to mentoring the next generation of researchers. His students have explored diverse topics within mathematics education, including mathematical connection self-efficacy, geometric justification skills, and the relationship between school climate and teacher burnout. His teaching portfolio spans doctoral, master's, undergraduate, and associate degree levels, with courses focused on statistics, probability, data analysis, and mathematical research methods.
As evidenced by his extensive publication record and thesis supervision, Professor BINDAK maintains an active research laboratory focused on quantitative educational research, with particular attention to measurement theory, statistical methodology in education, and mathematics learning processes. His work continues to influence both educational practice and research methodology in Turkey's academic community.
