Teaching Design of Mathematical Modelling Based on BOPPPS Framework

Abstract

Originated from North American teacher skills training program, BOPPPS model has now become a famous teaching model around the world. BOPPPS emphasizes a student-centered, problem-oriented, and knowledge-focused teaching process, during which a natural transition from known to unknown is completed through interactive teaching. In order to improve the teaching efficiency of mathematical modelling in local universities, this paper introduces a teaching plan of an optimal sailing strategy problem as an example to illustrate how to teach mathematical modelling, thought which the teaching process of all aspects of the BOPPPS are introduced.
