Kristin Zorn; Kym Fry; Kevin Larkin; Peter Grootenboer – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2024
Problems presented in mathematics classrooms often focus on routine tasks with students practicing mathematical techniques demonstrated by the teacher. However, this does not reflect the problem-solving process in the real world, and students often find it difficult to connect school mathematics with authentic contexts. This paper discusses…

Jonathan Brown; Erin Turner; Delia Sotelo Fierros – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Mathematical modeling involves using mathematics to represent, analyze, and make predictions or decisions about real- world situations. Garfunkel and Montgomery (2016) elaborate on six components of the mathematical modeling process, including identifying the problem, making assumptions and identifying variables, doing the math, analyzing and…

Amy Been Bennett; Julia Aguirre; Erin E. Turner; Elzena McVicar; Erin Carll – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Mathematical modeling is a process in which students investigate authentic problems and everyday situations using mathematics. In doing so, they bring their multiple mathematical knowledge bases and cultural funds of knowledge into their solution strategies. During a task called "Abuelo's Birthday", 297 students in grades 3-5 decided how…

Carlos L. Alvarez; Branca Mirnic; Jardel C. Santos; Tatiana G. Pineda – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2024
This quasi-experimental research aimed to describe the syllabus design process using the "backward design model" and its features to determine the teacher candidates' perceptions of its application in the English Skills Development course. To achieve these objectives, the syllabus based on the BDM was designed before starting the course;…

Tran, Dung; Nguyen, Duyen Thi; Nguyen, An Thi Tan; Nguyen, Giang-Nguyen Thi; Ta, Phuong Minh – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
To address the upcoming reform curriculum initiative following competency-based learning in Vietnam, this study examines how variations of a contextualized task allow students to experience the mathematical modelling process. We explore how Grade 10 students respond to tasks with different levels of authenticity when they first attempt such tasks.…

Eslit, Edgar R. – Online Submission, 2023
Task-Based Instruction (TBI) is a dynamic approach in tertiary language education that emphasizes the integration of authentic and meaningful tasks to enhance language learning outcomes. This study aims to explore the implementation of TBI in the Philippines, investigate its cognitive benefits and transformative nature, identify pedagogical…
