Abstract
This research aimed to study students’ mathematical modelling in classroom using Open Approach. The target groups were 9 students of 11th-grade student in 2016 academic year, Kalasinpittayasan School, Kalasin Province. The research had collected the data in classroom by using open approach with 4 steps: 1) Posing open-ended problem, 2) Students’ self-learning, 3) Whole class discussion and comparison and 4) Summing-up by connecting students’ emergent mathematical ideas. Researcher analyzed students’ mathematical modelling based on Galbraith and Stillman’s framework. The result found that, classroom using open approach provided mathematical modelling in the second step of open approach, students’ self-learning and the third step supports students to fulfill their own modelling process from comparing ideas.
