The authentic activities and mathematical modelling processes for preparatory school pupils

Abstract

The aim of this study of the effect of authentic activities in teaching mathematics on mathematical modeling processesThe authentic activities were used by conducting the experiment, where work was with 45 pupils 13th years old of preparatory school (It’s the second stage of the educational stages in Egypt, and it’s the next stage after Primary school) in Al Qalyubia (One of the cities in Egypt) in the 2020/2021 academic year and studying this effect. The results showed, that value of the impact size through the value of h2 was calculated 0.79, and this meant the strong effect of the authentic activities on the development of mathematical modeling processes, where authentic activities lead to the development of mathematical modeling processes among the pupils because Authentic Activities provides pupils with the opportunity to study real-life problems, analyze them from various aspects and provide a correct picture of the problem that contributes to the increase of students' awareness of what they are learning.
