Levels of analysis of a mathematical modelling activity: Beyond the questions-answers dialectic
Résumé
This paper presents the a posteriori analysis of an study and research path (SRP) on comparing reality versus forecasts of Facebook users, which appears as a teaching and learning proposal for mathematical modelling. We present the main elements of the SRP that have been designed through a virtual platform developed in the frame of the European project MCSquared and experienced in a first-year course at university in management sciences degrees. The three-layer analysis we present is based on three main study dialectics: the questions-answers, media-milieu and individual-collective dialectics, which are central for an SRP and for mathematical modelling. In particular, we focus our a posteriori analysis on how these three dialectics were fostered and which are the main weaknesses as well as strengths of the SRP experienced.
