Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the prospective mathematics teachers’ mathematical modeling abilities and the difficulties encountered. 38 prospective primary mathematics teachers attended to the research. Two problems concerning theoretical and empirical modelling were given to the students. Descriptive analysis was conducted in analysis the data. The students’ modelling abilities were analyzed with regard to the stages in mathematical modelling circle such as “understanding the problem”, “selecting the variables”, “setting and interpretting the mathematical model”. It was determined that most of the students were not been successful in understanding the real life problem given, expressing mathematically, producing a mathematical model, interpretating the model, using algebra instead of arithmetic, transferring their some mathematical knowledge into the process of the solution of the real life problem.
