The study was designed in the phenomenological (phenomenological) design, one of the qualitative research methods. The study group of the study was conducted on 61 pre-service teachers who were studying in the elementary school mathematics teaching program of a university in the Southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey. In the study, a semi-structured interview form, developed by the researcher to collect data, was used to determine the opinions of pre-service teachers on the reasoning, types of reasoning and the importance of reasoning skills in geometry. The data obtained through this form were analyzed by content analysis method. When the research results are examined; It was determined that the pre-service teachers did not have sufficient knowledge about reasoning and the components of reasoning skills. The pre-service teachers stated that reasoning skills are important in geometry.  \nIn addition, the pre-service teachers expressed important and valuable views on what can be done to improve reasoning skills. Suggestions are presented depending on the results of the study.  \nKey words: Reasoning, pre-service teachers, geometry, reasoning game.  \n1. Introduction  \nMathematics is knowledge obtained by reasoning (Rohana, 2015) . Mathematics education performs amore important function than teaching operations and providing computational skills in daily life, and provides important supports such as thinking, linking events, reasoning, making predictions, problem solving that enable us to survive in the life war that is getting more and more complicated with each passing day (Umay, 2003) . The reasoning made by mathematicians involves the way to associate or form an idea or concept with the next concept or idea (Brodie, 2010) . One of the main goals of mathematics education is to find logical answers to the question \"why\" or to help improve reasoning (Danişman & Erginer, 2017) . Among the skills that mathematics should teach students are reasoning, association, modeling, problem solving and communication. These skills can be developed by learning basic mathematical concepts and ways of acquiring mathematical knowledge (Baki, 2018) .  \nReasoning is the process of thinking and reaching a rational conclusion by considering all factors (Umay & Kaf, 2005) . According to Lithner (2008), reasoning is the exercises requested from students in the classroom environment, tests, group work, etc. Thom (2011) states that reasoning involves \"generating, applying and evaluating assumptions as well as verifying our thoughts and actions while dealing with mathematics.\" Rastogi (1983) found that one of the main factors in the success of mathematics is reasoning. Various classifications for evaluating students' reasoning skills have been proposed in the literature. These dimensions include interrelated and improved versions of each other. TIMSS categorized reasoning skills as analyzing, generalizing, making connections, making decisions, and finally solving non-routine problems (TIMMS, 2003) . Reasoning ability is a method of measuring mental capacity. It includes the ability to solve problems and reach answers, that is, to reach solutions logically and to generalize (Fathima & Rao, 2008). There can be reasoning at all levels of mathematical understanding, and mathematical reasoning can be used at all levels of difficulty in solving non-routine problems (Jäder, Sidenvall, & Sumpter, 2017) . Human beings, who are distinguished from other  \ncreatures with the ability to think as a requirement of their creation, take into account all factors and reach a rational conclusion by using the power of thought, by analyzing and discovering situations the","cbCaipgCaLan7A7x","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipgCaLan7A7x","pdf",241650,12,"English","# Introduction\n## Concept and definitions of mathematical reasoning\n## Importance and dimensions of reasoning skills\n# Research design (phenomenological approach)\n## Participants and data collection\n## Data analysis method\n# Findings and implications\n## Knowledge levels and perceived importance","[{\"question\":\"What is the main aim of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines pre-service mathematics teachers' views on reasoning, the importance of reasoning skills in geometry, and how reasoning skills can be developed.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research designed and what data were used?\",\"answer\":\"The study used a phenomenological design.
