Measuring Professional Competence for the Teaching of Mathematical Modelling

Raphael Wess received his doctorate on Professional Competence for Teaching Mathematical Modelling as a research assistant at the Institute for Mathematics Education and Computer Science Education at the University of Münster. Heiner Klock worked as a research assistant at the Department of Mathematics (Mathematics Education) at the University of Koblenz-Landau and received his doctorate at the University of Würzburg on Adaptive Intervention Competence in Mathematical Modelling Processes.  Prof. Dr. Hans-Stefan Siller is Professor of Mathematics Education and holds the Chair for Mathematics V at the Julius Maximilians University in Würzburg.  His research focuses on mathematical modeling, reality-related mathematics lessons, competence orientation, assessment and examination in math lessons, heterogeneity and talented students in mathematics, and the use of new media and digital technologies in math lessons.  Prof. Dr. Gilbert Greefrath is Professor of Mathematics Education with a focus on secondary education at the University of Münster (Germany). After receiving his doctorate in mathematics, he taught at universities in Karlsruhe and Cologne. His research focuses on mathematical modelling, the use of digital mathematical tools, the transition from school to university and the development of test and examination tasks.
