An educational experience on modelling for in-service mathematics teachers from the Panamanian school system
Résumé
We report the preliminary results of an educational experience on modelling for in-service secondary education mathematics teachers from the Panamanian school system. The context is the Diploma Course in Mathematics Education Applied to Secondary Education, taught by the University of Panama, which includes a submodule on modelling. Using the modelling cycle taught in the submodule, we analysed the solving procedures to three problems posed to the teachers, in which we made evident their tendency to consider the problem as solved when they obtained mathematical results from the mathematical model, without the need to interpret or validate these results in the real situation context. With these preliminary results, we intend to provide a first overview on the teaching and learning of modelling in the Panamanian context for further teacher professional development.
