Sažetak
The purpose of this study was to investigate the cognitive modelling competencies of
sixth-grade middle school students and to identify the difficulties they encountered
during this process. The research was conducted with 50 sixth-grade students
attending a public middle school located in eastern Turkey. Data were collected
through the Modelling Competency Form developed by the researchers. The research
was conducted as a case study, and it was based on a qualitative research approach.
The obtained qualitative data were analyzed via descriptive analysis. The results
revealed that students experienced cognitive deficiencies in the mathematical
modelling process, particularly in the stages of validation and interpretation. Based
on the results, a list of students’ cognitive difficulties in the modelling process was
compiled, and several recommendations were proposed to address these challenges.
