Jensen, Jens Højgaard; Niss, Martin; Jankvist, Uffe Thomas – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
The article addresses the problématique of where mathematization is taught in the educational system, and who teaches it. Mathematization is usually not a part of mathematics programs at the upper secondary level, but we argue that physics teaching has something to offer in this respect, if it focuses on solving so-called unformalized problems,…

Kartal, Ozgul; Dunya, Beyza Aksu; Diefes-Dux, Heidi A.; Zawojewski, Judith S. – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2016
Critical to many science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) career paths is mathematical modeling--specifically, the creation and adaptation of mathematical models to solve problems in complex settings. Conventional standardized measures of mathematics achievement are not structured to directly assess this type of mathematical…

Christiansen, Iben Maj – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1997
The negotiation of meaning presupposes a taken-to-be-shared understanding of a situation. Uses an example to illustrate how negotiation of meaning and task may be linked in ways inappropriate to the learning of modeling and critical reflections. Contains 16 references. (Author/ASK)

Niss, Mogens – 1976
This paper begins by discussing the observation that mathematics instruction at all levels is in a crisis of relevance. A sketch of the function and organization of the existing mathematics instruction is presented; the suggestion that instruction be built on a problem-orientation basis is considered; and the role and education of the teacher is…
