Academic Libraries as a Context for Teaching Mathematical Modeling

Abstract: The teaching of mathematical modeling to undergraduate students requires that students are given ample opportunity to develop their own models and experience first-hand the process of model building. Finding an appropriate context within which modeling can be undertaken is not a simple task as it needs to be readily understandable and seen as relevant by students, require an appropriate level of mathematical training, and reflect the differing learning styles of students. This article describes the academic li… Show more

“…In higher education, it is expected that structured learning could assist students in reaching the desired levels of skills at the higher levels of Bloom's taxonomy (Warwick, 2008). The systematic and incremental teaching methods provide students with a mechanism for incremental learning.…”

“…Taking into consideration that the students, who due to different reasons dropped out of studies, were not included in the study, these "weak" students can be described as persistent and purposeful, who need to pay more attention to the development of analytical thinking skills. It means that in higher education we should think about laboratory work as structuring student learning for assisting students in reaching the desired levels of skills at the higher levels of Bloom's taxonomy [23]. Student motivation, study methods and the teaching strategy influence student's selection of approaches to learning [17].…”
