This chapter addresses the relationship between the promotion of mathematical modeling in the classroom – in particular linking mathematics and authentic real mathematics problem – and students’ attitude towards mathematics. This relationship has a twofold nature, based on two assumptions: on one hand mathematical modeling can help to construct or reinforce the belief concerning the utility and concreteness of mathematics, and therefore it can foster motivation in studying mathematics; on the other hand a positive attitude towards mathematics can strongly affect the way students approach real mathematics problems.

Abstract
This chapter addresses the relationship between the promotion of mathematical modeling in the classroom – in particular linking mathematics and authentic real mathematics problem – and students’ attitude towards mathematics. This relationship has a twofold nature, based on two assumptions: on one hand mathematical modeling can help to construct or reinforce the belief concerning the utility and concreteness of mathematics, and therefore it can foster motivation in studying mathematics; on the other hand a positive attitude towards mathematics can strongly affect the way students approach real mathematics problems.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
