This case study aimed to design interdisciplinary MEAs for pre-service teachers, to evaluate these activities according to  \nmodelling principles, and to examine participants’ views after the  \nimplementation. The data consisted of the developed MEAs, video transcripts from the implementation process, and audio transcripts of semi-structured interviews. Content analysis, descriptive analysis, and rubric-based evaluation were used. The results showed that although the activities did not fully meet all modelling principles, they largely aligned with them and provided meaningful contributions topre  \nservice teachers’ learning. Interview findings indicated that participants’ initially general views became more specific over time, and that interdisciplinary modelling activities increased both  \nmotivation and classroom interaction.  \nKeywords: model eliciting activity; pre-service teacher; mathematical modelling;  \ninterdisciplinary approach; designing principles.  \nIntroduction  \nIn educational institutions, mathematics is often perceived as an abstract subject and there are difficulties in relating it to real life. However mathematical knowledge and skills are very much needed to make sense of and solve the problems encountered in daily life. In this context, mathematical modelling is a very effective teaching method to ensure the association of mathematics with real life and to alleviate the difficulties in association. With the implementation of activities involving mathematical modelling, daily life problems are transferred to the language of mathematics, making students aware of what mathematics does in real life and contributing to the development of students' mathematical knowledge and skills. Mathematical modelling is one of the most powerful components of the learning process, as it engages students in problem situations that they may encounter in their real lives or can imagine, thereby enabling the use and development of high-level cognitive skills (Borromeo Ferri, 2006; Lesh & Doerr, 2003; Stillman, Galbraith, Brown & Edwards, 2007) .  \nModel-eliciting activities (MEAs) are designed to present problem situations, grounded in specific instructional principles, situated in real-world or hypothetical contexts, through which students are encouraged to ","cbCaipD731pGtZ2k","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipD731pGtZ2k","pdf",1278835,22,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Mathematical modelling and real life\n## Model-eliciting activities (MEAs)\n## Interdisciplinary and STEM connections\n# Study design and evaluation","[{\"question\":\"What teaching approach does the article focus on for mathematics learning?\",\"answer\":\"The article focuses on mathematical modelling and interdisciplinary Model Eliciting Activities (MEAs) to connect mathematics with real-life contexts and other disciplines.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the MEAs developed and evaluated in the case study?\",\"answer\":\"Interdisciplinary MEAs were designed for pre-service teachers and evaluated using modelling principles, with content and descriptive analysis plus rubric-based evaluation.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the researchers find about participants’ responses?\",\"answer\":\"Participants’ views became more specific over time, and interdisciplinary modelling activities increased both motivation and classroom interaction.\"}]","The Impact of Interdisciplinary Approach and Mathematical Modelling Activities on Mathematics Teaching - A Case Study with Pre-Service Teachers - study results | PDF",1792078971,55]
