Lyrica Lucas; Anum Khushal; Robert Mayes; Brian A. Couch; Joseph Dauer – International Journal of Science Education, 2025
Educational reform priorities such as emphasis on quantitative modelling (QM) have positioned undergraduate biology instructors as designers of QM experiences to engage students in authentic science practices that support the development of data-driven and evidence-based reasoning. Yet, little is known about how biology instructors adapt to the…

Berget, Ingeborg Katrin Lid – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2023
The teaching and learning of mathematical modelling involve engagement in real-world situations and the mathematization of such situations. In this study, the communication between teachers and students in 13 lessons (0.75-1.5 hours each) in two Norwegian upper secondary classrooms is observed and recorded to explore how modelling is communicated…

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…

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.…
