Abstract:
Participation in modelling activities significantly facilitates the development of mathematical skills. By utilizing the concept of mathematical modelling, students may be able to develop a more grounded understanding of mathematics. The objective of this research was to explore how computational thinking and critical thinking are connected to the mathematical modelling proficiency of pre-service teachers. Correlational quantitative research was conducted on 140 pre-service mathematics teachers from the Institute of Teacher Education, Penang and the Institute of Teacher Education, Ipoh, using a correlational research design. Using cluster random sampling, the Institute of Teacher Education was selected at random. The results revealed that pre-service mathematics teachers exhibited a strong aptitude for computational and critical thinking, but demonstrated a limited level of proficiency in mathematical modelling. In terms of modelling proficiency, the results indicated a significant correlation between computational thinking and critical thinking.The findings from this research demonstrated a significant correlation between critical thinking, computational thinking, and proficiency in modelling. Therefore, computational thinking and critical thinking improve prospective mathematics teachers' modelling skills.
Keywords –Computational thinking, correlational quantitative research, critical thinking, mathematical modelling, pre-service mathematics teachers. |
