Direct linkÄrlebäck, Jonas B.; Doerr, Helen M. – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
In this article, we examine how a sequence of modeling activities supported the development of students' interpretations and reasoning about phenomena with negative average rates of change in different physical phenomena. Research has shown that creating and interpreting models of changing physical phenomena is difficult, even for university level…

Gök, Mustafa; Demir, Nihal – Education Quarterly Reviews, 2021
The opinions of mathematics teachers about using mathematical modeling (MM) in daily life problems and their use of MM in solving a daily life problem were examined within the scope of the graduate-level MM course in this study. The research was designed as a case study. Participants are five mathematics teachers selected by the purposive sampling…

Wiemken, Rachel; Padmi, Russasmita Sri; Matney, Gabriel – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
Nations of the world share concerns on many critical issues in such a way that communication and collaboration are important skills for the 21st century (Trilling and Fadel 2009). Hence, connecting global issues to the mathematics classroom is important. Through such learning experiences, students can appreciate that mathematics has a special…

David Glassmeyer – Numeracy, 2019
This study examines how a models-and-modeling perspective affected teachers' attention to quantitative reasoning in task design. A Model-Eliciting Activity (MEA) was implemented with 21 teachers over four weeks, challenging teachers to design a quantitative reasoning task for their students. Teachers' initial quantitative reasoning tasks did not…

Raj, Gaurav; Mahajan, Manish; Singh, Dheerendra – International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies, 2020
In secure web application development, the role of web services will not continue if it is not trustworthy. Retaining customers with applications is one of the major challenges if the services are not reliable and trustworthy. This article proposes a trust evaluation and decision model where the authors have defined indirect attribute, trust,…

Wenmin Zhao – ProQuest LLC, 2020
Research on mathematical modeling is growing rapidly in the field of mathematics education, and there are numerous benefits of engaging students in modeling activities. However, mathematical modeling is still marginalized in mathematics instruction. In order to understand the challenges and obstacles secondary teachers face to incorporate modeling…

Leavy, Aisling; Hourigan, Mairead – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2018
Classroom data modeling involves posing questions, identifying attributes of phenomena, measuring and structuring these attributes, and then composing, revising, and communicating the outcomes. Selecting attributes is a fundamental component of data modeling, and the considerations made when selecting attributes is the focus of this paper. A…

Julie, Cyril – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
A widely used instrument was implemented to ascertain the mathematical modelling competency displayed by a cohort of South African learners in grade 10 and grade 12 of the school mathematics programme in South Africa. The cohort comprised 471 grade 10 and 200 grade 12 learners from schools serving learners from low socio-economic status…

Tekin Dede, Ayse; Bukova Guzel, Esra – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2023
The aim of this study is to investigate both the planning and implementation process of a modelling task by a middle school mathematics teacher. The participant of the study, which was conducted as a single case study, is a middle school mathematics teacher who have knowledge and experience in modelling. The data collecting tools of this study…

Mary Alice Carlson; Erin Turner; Jennifer Suh; Julia Aguirre – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Our paper details the ways teachers understand and navigate equity-oriented dilemmas (Berlak & Berlak, 1981) when teaching mathematical modeling and how mathematics teacher educators can support teachers' learning of culturally responsive mathematics teaching. Using Zavala and Aguirre's (in press) framework for culturally responsive…

Omar, Hanafy M. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
Systems dynamics and automatic control is classified as one of the toughest courses in the college of engineering at Qassim University according to the statistical analysis of the final grades. This motivated us to think about a new approach to teach this course by extending the design term project to include experimental part beside the…
