International Horizons in Mathematics Modelling Education. International Perspectives on the Teaching and Learning of Mathematical Modelling

Overview & Synopsis

This edited volume provides an extensive overview of the recent strides in global modelling education. It examines the interplay between modelling education and various dimensions of the educational landscape. Firstly, it delves deeply into the intersection of modelling education with interdisciplinary STEM education, teacher education, lesson study, engineering, problem-solving and posing, and creativity. Moreover, the book places a strong emphasis on the integration of modelling education with foundational mathematical concepts including algebra, geometry, functions, and statistics, demonstrating their integral role across elementary, secondary, and tertiary levels of mathematics education. Furthermore, the book delves into the specific issues and considerations that shape modelling education. It addresses critical pedagogical aspects, the integration of technology, and cultural and contextual considerations. In essence, this book stands as a comprehensive guide that not only surveys the recent advances in global modelling education but also offers invaluable insights and practical guidance.
