Özet

This study aims to examine the perceptions of pre-service mathematics teachers about mathematical modelling activities. Participants of the study comprised 23 pre-service mathematics teachers who undertook a course on mathematical modelling. A 12-hour mathematical modelling course revealed the perceptions of participants. After it, the participants found/developed a modelling problem and explained why they evaluated it as a model eliciting activity (MEA). MEA found/developed by participants were exam-ined by taking the principles of developing MEA into consideration. Results showed that many participants considered having more than one solution, the principle-based on real-life context, and suitability for group work for MEA. The participants did not focus on the model documentation principle. Based on this result, faculty members can help pre-service teachers by using activities that can be considered appropriate for this principle in modelling education.
