“…The potential of graphing technology to facilitate this process was thus not realised. In contrast, Villarreal et al (2015Villarreal et al ( , 2018 reported how pre-service education students in Argentina used the visual affordances of digital tools to represent their data in a visual manner to analyse the situation they were modelling and to communicate their results in an impactful manner. English (2013) has shown that complex modelling tasks relating to engineeringbased experiences can be handled by Years 7-9 Australian students.…”

This chapter provides a brief overview of the state of the art in research and curricula on mathematical modelling and applications of mathematics in education. Following a brief illustration of the nature of mathematical modelling in educational practice, research in real-world applications and mathematical modelling in mathematics curricula for schooling is overviewed. The theoretical and empirical lines of inquiry in mathematics education research related to teaching and learning of mathematical applications and mathematical modelling regularly in classrooms are then selectively highlighted. Finally, future directions are recommended.

“…A similar result with pre-service teachers was found by Paolucci and Wessels (2017) for 1-3 grades. As a contrast, Villarreal et al (2015) found that a group of secondary grade preservice teachers were able to design mathematical modelling projects that were useful in a socio-critical perspective, even though the mathematisation process was not building on advanced mathematics. The project relied on different representations of the amount of recyclable trash from an Argentinian city.…”

In this study, we aim to explain choices that groups of preservice teachers made to implement modelling tasks in primary school. We found that the preservice teachers decided to facilitate everyday-inspired contexts for the tasks and that this could be explained by their reasoning that modelling is supposed to be an activity close to reality. Essentially, the groups preferred two different approaches to introducing students to the tasks: (1) by inviting students to physically participate in situations related to their local communities that were familiar to them (e.g. trash picking), and (2) through pre-structured problems that were recognisable to students (e.g. estimation of the number of beads in an irregular box). We found evidence that the preservice teachers tended towards avoiding focusing on possible mathematical answers to the tasks. This could be explained by lacking experience with how to find approximate solutions, or that the preservice teachers were engaged in observing students’ solution strategies and mathematical behaviour.

“…La perspectiva socio-crítica también se asocia con el trabajo con proyectos que propone la Educación Matemática Crítica (Skovsmose, 1999(Skovsmose, , 2000, otro de nuestros referentes teóricos. El proceso indagatorio de lo realizado por los estudiantes del profesorado nos permitió caracterizar los diferentes temas que seleccionaron para sus proyectos de modelización abiertos, las actividades y conocimientos de diferente naturaleza que pusieron en juego para diseñarlos y desarrollarlos y describir aspectos de la perspectiva socio-crítica que se hicieron presentes en algunos proyectos (Villarreal et al, 2015).…”

Este artículo muestra la trayectoria de un grupo de investigación en educación matemática que forma parte del Grupo de Enseñanza de la Ciencia y la Tecnología, alojado en la Facultad de Matemática, Astronomía, Física y Computación de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (Argentina). El artículo inicia con un breve recorrido por la historia del grupo desde su creación a mediados de la década de los sesenta, reportando sobre diversas acciones de relevancia para la educación matemática local. Luego, se describen las actividades de docencia, investigación y extensión desarrolladas, como funciones sustantivas de la universidad pública en Argentina. Se ofrecen detalles de la docencia relacionada con la formación de futuros profesores de matemática en la universidad. Se especifican las líneas de investigación y los marcos teóricos que las sustentan y se reportan las principales acciones de extensión vinculadas con la formación docente y de otros actores sociales. Si bien estas tres actividades se presentan separadas, los fuertes vínculos que existen entre ellas las condicionan y definen mutuamente. El artículo cierra con una breve referencia a las perspectivas de investigación más recientes y una reflexión sobre el valor de conocer las trayectorias de grupos de investigación en educación matemática de América Latina.
