Learning How to Teach Mathematical Modeling in School and Teacher Education

This timely resource fills a gap in existing literature on mathematical modeling by presenting both theory- and evidence-based ideas for its teaching and learning. The book outlines four key professional competencies that must be developed in order to effectively and appropriately teach mathematical modeling, and in so doing it seeks to reduce the discrepancies between educational policy and educational research versus everyday teaching practice.

Among the key competencies covered are:




Theoretical competency for practical work.


Task competency for instructional flexibility.
Instructional competency for effective and quality lessons.
Diagnostic competency for assessment and grading.


Learning How to Teach Mathematical Modeling in School and Teacher Education is relevant to practicing and future mathematics teachers at all levels, as well as teacher educators, mathematics education researchers, and undergraduate and graduate mathematics students interested in research based methods for teaching mathematical modeling.

Aceasta resursa in timp util umple un gol in literatura existenta privind modelarea matematica prin prezentarea atat a ideilor bazate pe teorie, cat si pe baza dovezilor pentru predarea si invatarea acesteia. Cartea prezinta patru competente profesionale cheie care trebuie dezvoltate pentru a preda in mod eficient si adecvat modelarea matematica si, prin aceasta, incearca sa reduca discrepantele dintre politica educationala si cercetarea educationala fata de practica didactica de zi cu zi. Printre competentele cheie acoperite sunt: Teoretic competenta pentru munca practica. Competenta de sarcina pentru flexibilitatea instructionala. Competenta structurala pentru lectii eficiente si de calitate. Competenta de diagnostic pentru evaluare si notare. Invatarea modului de predare a modelarii matematice in educatia scolara si a profesorilor este relevanta pentru practicarea si viitori profesori de matematica la toate nivelurile, ca precum si educatori de profesori, cercetatori in educatia matematica si studenti la licenta si absolventi de matematica interesati de metode bazate pe cercetare pentru predarea modelarii matematice.
