Modelling chemical equilibrium in school mathematics with technology. (English)
Kaiser, G. (ed.) et al., Trends in teaching and learning of mathematical modelling. Proceedings of the 14th international conference on the teaching of mathematical modelling and applications, ICTMA, Hamburg, Germany, July 27‒31, 2009. Berlin: Springer (ISBN 978-94-007-0909-6/hbk; 978-94-007-0910-2/ebook). International Perspectives on the Teaching and Learning of Mathematical Modelling 1, 519-528 (2011).
Summary: This chapter presents an example of mathematics within a multidisciplinarity context, which took place recently in Danish upper secondary school. The case’s topic was modelling a system of chemical equilibrium in a solution of molecules and ions. The teacher deliberately focused on the intertwined mathematical modelling and chemical modelling, as a means to realize a multidisciplinary teaching perspective of the two subjects. The students’ written reports were analysed with the aim to study different aspects of their perceptions of modelling, as a result of multidisciplinary teaching. Means and obstacles for support of modelling competency by multidisciplinary teaching are discussed.
