  • Mathematical modeling from the eyes of preservice teachers Zehra Taşpinar Şener Yüksel Dede Educación Mathematical modeling Mathematics education Execution of activities Preservice mathematics teachers Mathematical modeling activities Using preservice teachers’ (PTs) opinions as its base, this study seeks to shed light on the process followed by PTs in teaching mathematical modeling to middle school students. The study group was composed of 18 middle school mathematics PTs, each of whom was selected using purposeful sampling. During the research period, PTs travelled in groups to the schools where they were to perform their practicum. Lessons were video recorded, and PTs shared these recordings and their classroom experiences with their peers. As a result of the analysis, the study’s findings were grouped into four main themes: (i) opinions regarding activities, (ii) opinions regarding preservice teachers, (iii) opinions regarding students, and (iv) opinions regarding mathematics teachers. Discussion of these findings revolved around both teacher training and mathematical modeling, which then led to several recommendations being made. 2021 artículo científico 1665-2436 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=33572629002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/335/33572629002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/335/33572629002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/335/33572629002/33572629002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/335/33572629002/movil 10.12802/relime.21.2421 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=335 Revista Latinoamericana de Investigación en Matemática Educativa, RELIME application/pdf Colegio Mexicano de Matemática Educativa A.
