Course Objective

In this course, students will be informed about the concept of mathematical modeling and modeling processes, work on different modeling problems, develop modeling problems themselves, be informed about modeling applications in the classroom, design modeling applications, and examine the solution approaches and thinking processes of students who solve modeling problems through different examples. are intended to be examined and evaluated. It is aimed for students to have the knowledge and skills to develop modeling applications and carry out these applications in their teaching lives in the light of the information and experiences they have gained in the course.
