MATHEMATICAL MODELLING IN TEACHING MATHEMATICS IN GENERAL EDUCATION IN VIETNAM: PRACTICES, BARRIERS AND DEVELOPMENT DIRECTIONS THROUGH SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT

Mathematical modelling has been widely applied in mathematics education worldwide, yet its implementation in Vietnamese secondary schools faces multiple challenges. This study conducts a systematic review using the PRISMA method to examine current practices, identify barriers, and propose future development directions. Findings indicate that, despite increasing research interest, the integration of mathematical modelling into teaching remains limited, mainly due to curriculum constraints, teachers’ limited modelling skills, and a lack of suitable teaching materials. The paper suggests enhancing teacher training, improving curriculum design, and promoting research on localized modelling problems to foster effective implementation.
