Assessing Teaching Competencies for Mathematical Modelling
Résumé
The question of how mathematical modelling competencies can be assessed has been well investigated and discussed in the last decades within the modelling research field. The test instrument, originally from Haines and Crouch, was adapted for learners in secondary and high-school and as well for teachers in many empirical studies. The results of these investigations also helped to conceptualize the term of modelling competencies. Far more at the beginning of research efforts is the question of how teaching competencies for mathematical modelling, based on the model of Borromeo Ferri, can be assessed. The complexity of the four dimensions is challenging in order to develop a test instrument with the goal to see an increase of teaching competencies after a course on ‘learning and teaching of mathematical modelling’. The paper describes recently developed test items used in an intervention study with prospective teachers, and presents first results of this pilot study.
