Abstract (2. Language): 
This study aims at determining eight grade students’ connection skills between word problems and the concept of variable. The sample of this research consisted of 158 eight grade students. In selecting of the sample of this study, the group sampling methods in probability sampling methods were used. In this study, a qualitative method (case study design) was used. A paper-pencil test was applied to the students as a data collecting tools. The data in this study were obtained from the students’ answers to test and the interviews. Results show that the majority of the students have a difficulty in converting a mathematical statement or an equation or a mathematical variable to a problem sentence. The students also have difficulties in converting mathematical language into their native language.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışma ilköğretim 8. sınıf öğrencilerinin sözel problemler ve matematiğin temel kavramlarından biri olan değişken kavramı arasındaki ilişki kurabilme becerilerini belirlemeyi hedeflemektedir. Araştırmanın örneklemini 158 İlköğretim 8. sınıf öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın örnekleminin seçiminde, olasılık temelli örnekleme yöntemi içinde yer alan küme örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada nitel bir metot (durum çalışması) kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak öğrencilere bir kağıt- kalem testi uygulanmıştır. Çalışmadaki veriler, öğrencilerin teste vermiş oldukları cevaplar ve öğrencilerle yapılan mülakatlar sonucu elde edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, öğrencilerin büyük bir kısmının matematiksel bir ifadeyi, ya da bir denklemi, ya da matematiksel bir değişkeni bir problem cümlesine dönüştürmede oldukça zorlandıkları görülmüştür. Öğrenciler matematiksel dili anadillerine dönüştürmekte sıkıntı yaşamaktadırlar.
