Theory and Practice of Cooperative Learning in Mathematical Modeling Teaching

Abstract

Against the problems such as that teamwork of mathematical modeling is not strong enough, based on the characteristics and inherent laws of mathematical modeling, combined with the characteristics of the students, this paper presents several strategies. To the basic theory of cooperative learning as a guide, starting from the connotation of cooperative learning of mathematical modeling, analyzing the main factors that impacting the cooperative learning of mathematical modeling, this paper makes several teaching strategies of the cooperative learning of mathematical modeling for the research about the teaching strategies that the cooperative learning improves the modeling interest in learning, academic performance and learning ability. Empirical students have shown that the implementation of cooperative learning has a positive impact on improving student’s modeling interest in learning, academic performance and learning ability and so on. In this way, we not only expand the theory of cooperative learning from high school to college, but also achieve the combine of theory and practice. It provides approach to improve student’s comprehensive ability.
