The overall goal of Modelling and Applications in Mathematics
Education is to provide a comprehensive overview of the
state-of-the-art in the field of modelling and applications in
mathematics education. Key issues are dealt with, among which are
the following:
Epistemology and the relationships between mathematics and the
"rest of the world"; the meaning of mathematical modelling and its
process components; the respect in which the distinction between
pure mathematics and applications of mathematics make sense
Authenticity and Goals dealing with modelling and applications in
mathematics teaching; appropriate balance between modelling
activities and other mathematical activities; the role that
authentic problem situations play in modelling and applications
activities
Modelling Competencies: characterizing how a student's modelling
competency can be characterized; identifiable sub-competencies, and
the ways they constitute a general modelling competency; developing
competency over time
Mathematical Competencies: identifying the most important
mathematical competencies that students should acquire, and how
modelling and applications activities can contribute toward
building up these competencies; the meaning of "Mathematical
Literacy" in relation to modelling
Modelling Pedagogy: appropriate pedagogical principles and
strategies for the development of modelling courses and their
teaching; the role of technology in the teaching of modelling and
applications
Implementation and Practice: the role of modelling and applications
in everyday mathematics teaching; major impediments and obstacles;
advancing the use of modelling examples in everydayclassrooms;
documenting successful implementation of modelling in mathematics
teaching
Assessment and Evaluation: assessment modes that capture the
essential components of modelling competency; modes available for
modelling and applications courses and curricula; appropriate
strategies to implement new assessment and evaluation modes in
practice
The contributing authors are eminent members of the mathematics
education community. Modelling and Applications in Mathematics
Education will be of special interest to mathematics educators,
teacher educators, researchers, education administrators,
curriculum developers and student teachers.
