Kohen, Zehavit; Gharra-Badran, Yasmin – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2023
Mathematics modelling is a vital competency for students of all ages. In this study, we aim to fill the research gap about valid and reliable tools for assessing and grading mathematical modeling problems, particularly those reflecting multiple steps of the modelling cycle. We present in this paper the design of a reliable and valid assessment…
