Tóm tắt

It is essential to equip prospective mathematics teachers with knowledge about mathematical modelling competence for effective teaching. This study aims to evaluate the understanding of mathematical modelling competence in teaching probability and statistics among prospective mathematics teachers. The research was conducted on third- and fourth-year students in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Education, The University of Da Nang. We administered a survey to the prospective mathematics teachers in class. Following the completion of the survey, we conducted in-class interviews with the prospective mathematics teachers to further clarify their responses. The research results indicate that prospective mathematics teachers have significant limitations in their understanding of mathematical modelling competence and a lack of modelling skills. Many pre-service teachers still face difficulties in applying the mathematical modelling process to the teaching of probability and statistics. This study provides evidence that enhancing the teaching of mathematical modelling for prospective mathematics teachers in Mathematics Education programs is urgent to partly meet the requirements of the 2018 General Education Program.
