This research study examined 31 elementary and middle grades PSTs’ conceptualization of mathematical modeling and their experiences with such modeling. The study participants were recruited from two, four-year university mathematics methods courses located in northeastern and midwestern United States. Data for this study was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using qualitative and quantitative methods. Results indicated that most of the PSTs had little understanding of the intersection of mathematical modeling, and the teaching and learning of mathematics. As such, many perceived mathematical modeling as an exclusive action reserved for teachers. Additionally, the results revealed that most participants had minimal, if any, experience with mathematical modeling. These limited experiences portrayed mathematical modeling as a show and tell method or step-by-step explanation. Our results expand the inadequate research into elementary and middle grades PSTs’ knowledge of and experiences in mathematical modeling and warrant the exigency for the inclusion of extensive mathematical modeling practices into methods and content courses for PSTs. The directions for future research and implications for researchers and teacher education programs are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":38619,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematics in Operational Research","volume":"89 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90206623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed distribution has two important properties: it involves more parameters than the baseline model to obtain more flexibility and the extra parameters have a clear interpretation and representation. The proposed model is more flexible than any of its sub-models. Its probability density function can be monotone increasing, decreasing, or unimodal and its associated hazard rate may be increasing, decreasing, unimodal or bathtub-shaped. Statistical expression is obtained for certain structural statistical properties such as ordinary and incomplete moments, moment generating function, order statistics, quantile function, reliability function, and Renyi entropy. The maximum likelihood estimation method is used to obtain the estimates of the model parameters. An application of the new model to two lifetime data demonstrates the flexibility of the model.","PeriodicalId":38619,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematics in Operational Research","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135643239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
