This study aims to investigate the extent to which Korean high school textbooks incorporate opportunities for students to engage in the mathematical modeling process through tasks related to exponential and logarithmic functions. The tasks in three textbooks were analyzed based on the actions required for each stage in the mathematical modeling process, which includes identifying essential variables, formulating models, performing operations, interpreting results, and validating the outcomes. The study identified 324 units across the three textbooks, and the reliability coefficient was 0.869, indicating a high level of agreement in the coding process. The analysis revealed that the distribution of tasks requiring engagement in each of the five stages was similar in all three textbooks, reflecting the 2015 revised curriculum and national curriculum system. Among the 324 analyzed tasks, the highest proportion of the units required performing operations found in the mathematical modeling process. The findings suggest a need to include high-quality tasks that allow students to experience the entire process of mathematical modeling and to acknowledge the limitations of textbooks in providing appropriate opportunities for mathematical modeling with a heavy emphasis on performing operations. These results provide implications for the development of mathematical modeling activities and the reconstruction of textbook tasks in school mathematics, emphasizing the need to enhance opportunities for students to engage in mathematical modeling tasks and for teachers to provide support for students in the tasks.

The purpose of this study is to provide to understand correctly for teachers and pre-service teachers who have the wrong conception of mathematical modeling. We present the differences modeling problems and general application problems to identify between general application and modeling problems. We propose the entire process from modeling tasks development to solve the problems of mathematical modeling. Additionally, the entire process of the possible solutions was concluded for the presented modeling problems. We proposed what students and teachers should perform at each stage of each phase of the modeling cycle. The concrete tasks were suggested for teachers and students at each phase of modeling cycles, with the specific role of the teacher in the overall process for students' modeling activities.

본 연구에서는 수학적 모델링 활동이 창의적 사고를 촉진하는 것이 가능한지 이론적으로 타진하고, 가능하다면 어떤 모델링 과제를 설계하여 촉진할 수 있으며, 실제 수학적 모델링 활동에서 창의적 사고는 어떠한 방식으로 드러나는지 확인하는 데 목적을 둔다. 연구 결과, 학생들이 다양한 수학적 모델을 생성하고, 각자 생성한 수학적 모델을 검토하고 개선하면서 수학적 모델링을 진행하는 장면이 확인되었다. 그리고 이러한 수학적 모델링 과정에서 수학적 창의성의 요인들인 유창성, 유연성, 독창성, 정교성의 발현을 확인할 수 있었다.

Mathematics educators have examined mathematical modeling, where students tackle authentic real-life problems and develop problem-solving strategies with a sense of agency. However, few empirical studies have been conducted to illuminate the developmental process of teachers' competencies in mathematical modeling, particularly for elementary school teachers. Scholars have noted that elementary mathematics teachers can effectively teach mathematical modeling by designing tasks that consider students' abilities and preferences. In this vein, this review paper introduces a study conducted by Jung (2023), which examines the developmental process of an elementary school mathematics teacher's competencies in mathematical modeling and how she overcame related challenges.

The purpose of this study is to investigate elementary students' communication in process of applying mathematical modeling. For this study, 22 fifth graders in an elementary school were observed by applying mathematical modeling process (presentation of problem ${\rightarrow}$ model inducement activity ${\rightarrow}$ model exploration activity ${\rightarrow}$ model application activity). And the level of their communication with their activity sheets and outputs, observation records and interviews were also analyzed. Additionally, by analyzing the activity cases of and , this study researched that what is a positive influence on students' communication skills. Whereas showed significant advance in the level of communication, who communicated actively on speaking area but not on every areas showed insensible changes. To improve communication abilities, cognitive tension and debate situation are needed. This means, mathematical education should continuously provide students with mathematical communication learning, and a class which contains mathematical communication experiences (such as mathematical modeling) will be needed.

There has been a gradually increasing focus on adopting mathematical modeling techniques into school curricula and classrooms as a method to promote students' mathematical problem solving abilities. However, this approach is not commonly realized in today's classrooms due to the difficulty in developing appropriate mathematical modeling problems. This research focuses on developing reformulation strategies for those problems with regard to mathematical modeling. As the result of analyzing existing textbooks across three grade levels, the majority of problems related to the real-world focused on the Operating and Interpreting stage of the mathematical modeling process, while no real-world problem dealt with the Identifying variables stage. These results imply that the textbook problems cannot provide students with any chance to decide which variables are relevant and most important to know in the problem situation. Following from these results, reformulation strategies and reformulated problem examples were developed that would include the Identifying variables stage. These reformulated problem examples were then applied to a 7th grade classroom as a case study. From this case study, it is shown that: (1) the reformulated problems that included authentic events and questions would encourage students to better engage in understanding the situation and solving the problem, (2) the reformulated problems that included the Identifying variables stage would better foster the students' understanding of the situation and their ability to solve the problem, and (3) the reformulated problems that included the mathematical modeling process could be applied to lessons where new mathematical concepts are introduced, and the cooperative learning environment is required. This research can contribute to school classroom's incorporation of the mathematical modeling process with specific reformulating strategies and examples.

본 연구는 초등학교 5학년 학생들의 수학적 모델링 수업에서 모둠 구성 방법에 따라 수학적 모델링 과정 수행 능력과 수학적 추론 능력에 차이가 있는지 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 3가지 문제 상황으로 각각 8차시에 걸쳐 총 24차시의 수학적 모델링 수업을 설계 및 실시하였다. 그 결과 동질 모둠 보다는 이질 모둠에서 더 낳은 수학적 모델링 과정 수행 능력과 수학적 추론 능력을 보여 주었다. 본 연구 결과는 수학 수업에서 수학적 모델링을 적용할 때 모둠 구성의 관점에서 이질 모둠이 보다 효과적임을 시사한다.

이 논문은 스프레드시트를 활용한 수학적 모델링에서 스프레드시트 환경이 수학적 모델의 정교화과정에 어떤 영향을 미치는 지를 고찰한 것이다. 좀 더 자세히 살피면 수학적 모델링에서 스프레드시트 모델의 활용은 학생이 분석 불가능한 수학적모델도 분석할 수 있도록 해줌으로써 모델을 단순화하지 않고, 대신 모델을 정교화 할 수 있는 기회를 제공하고 수학적 개념을 확장해 나갈 수 있음을 보였다. 또한 수학적 모델을 스프레드시트 모델로 변환하여, 수학적 모델로부터 수학적 결론을 얻는 단계를 거치지 않고도 실세계 상황을 해석하고 설명할 수 있는 기회를 제공할 수 있음을 보였다.

Recently, mathematical modeling has been attractive in that it could be one of many efforts to improve students' thinking and problem solving in mathematics education. Mathematical modeling is a non-linear process that involves elements of both a treated-as-real world and a mathematics world and also requires the application of mathematics to unstructured problem situations in real-life situation. This study provides analysis of literature review about modeling perspectives, case studies about mathematical modeling, and textbooks from the United States and Korea with perspective which mathematical modeling could be potential and meaningful to students even in elementary school. Further, teaching method with mathematical modeling was investigated to see the possibility of application to elementary mathematics classroom.
