The extent to which the concept of mathematical modeling has been achieved in education in the Arab world. A systematic study of educational literature published in the Arabic language.

Abstract

The term mathematical modelling has emerged since the seventies of the last century and has gained great importance in the educational field due to the urgent need to understand and use mathematics in daily life, and the ineffectiveness of traditional teaching to achieve the desired understanding of students application of mathematics concepts that they have learned in their living reality. From here, research and scientific studies have confirmed And pedagogical, to the importance of adopting mathematical modelling as a teaching strategy for its great contribution to developing mathematical problem-solving skills in daily life, and its ability to enhance and stimulate students motivation to study mathematics and encourage them to choose their professional studies related to science and technology. Accordingly, this research aimed to reveal the extent of interest of researchers and specialists in the Arab world in this important term in education, by reviewing the educational literature, which is represented in studies and research in mathematical modelling during the period from 2000 to 2020, and presenting the results to indicate to what extent has been applied Mathematical modelling term in the educational field.Where reliance was made on the database of Dar Al-Mandumah to obtain information on research and studies published in the Arabic language on this topic, and to indicate their number and percentages according to the specified time period and their geographical distribution, and the number of researchers who have the largest number of research in mathematical modelling
