Abstract

 Abstract—Modeling is used as a learning method because learners can experience a conceptual change. These days, computers are used in modeling activity to perform the modeling process effectively and efficiently in classroom. Therefore, this study developed contents for mathematical modeling class using Spreadsheet and GSP, computer-based modeling tools instructors can easily experience. After development, we applied the contents to actual classwork, and measured the changes in students' attitudes toward mathematics and technology before and after the classwork. As a result of the application of the program, this work brought about the educational effects as follows: First, computer-based modeling activity increased one's self-esteem in using technology. Secondly, experiencing mathematical modeling with computers was instrumental in learning mathematics. Thirdly, computer modeling activity positively increased students' attitudes toward mathematics and technology.
