A Course in mathematical modeling for pre-service teachers: Designs and challenges
Page: 1444
The increased status of mathematical modeling in the K-12 curriculum requires teacher preparation programs to adapt. This design experiment examines a course in mathematical modeling for pre-service secondary mathematics instructors that was co-developed and co-taught by a mathematics educator and an applied mathematician. The students in the course, all mathematics majors, experienced growth as well as challenges, some rooted in quantitative reasoning.
