Mathematical Modeling Knowledge and Affect for Teaching: A Holistic Framework for the Competencies Required to Teach Mathematical Modeling
Page: 855
In this theoretical paper, we build on prior frameworks on teacher knowledge and affect to propose a holistic framework for the competencies required for teaching modeling—a framework that integrates teacher competencies from both the cognitive and affective domains. We illustrate elements of the framework through the case of one secondary teacher’s work from a modeling-focused professional development program. Finally, we describe implications of our framework for researchers and educational stakeholders.
