The use of large language models to solve mathematical modeling problems: preservice mathematics teachers’ use practices, perceived affordances and challenges, and trustworthiness judgments of AI-generated outputs
Abstract Mathematical modeling is a core component of mathematics education, enabling learners to connect mathematical ideas with real-world phenomena. Yet, it remains challenging for preservice teachers (PSTs), who must develop their own modeling competence while preparing to guide future students in reasoning about authentic situations. Large language models (LLMs) offer promising, though underexplored, potential to scaffold these complex learning processes by providing real-time explanations, supporting reaso…
