Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue aims to highlight the current trends in the field of mathematical modeling in education with the use of digital tools. This includes issues such as the following:

• The epistemology of mathematical modeling and the relationship between mathematics and the "other world";
• The transition from pure mathematics to the applied mathematics that has meaning to students;
• Authentic problem situations, the authenticity of modeling and applications in mathematics education;
• Documentation of the implementation of mathematical modeling in education;
• Teacher training in mathematical modeling;
• The use and the role of digital tools in the teaching of mathematical modeling;
• The balance between modeling activities and other mathematical activities;
• The concept of "mathematical literacy" in relation to mathematical modeling;
• Pedagogical approaches and strategies for developing mathematical modeling courses;
• The mathematical abilities that students can acquire in relation to mathematical modeling;
• How modeling activities and the use of digital tools can help build mathematical abilities;
• Assessment methods that demonstrate modeling ability;
• The inclusion of modeling in the curricula

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a double-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Education Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
