Revealing some of the hidden mathematical models of educational theories

Resum

This paper delves into the intersection of mathematical modeling and educational theory, exploring how mathematical frameworks have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of educational processes and pedagogical practices. This paper focused on such educational theories as information memory-processing theory, dynamic equilibrium theory, cooperative learning theory, Maslow motivation theory, Lewin’s field theory and social learning theory. By employing mathematical models, researchers have been able to dissect complex educational phenomena, elucidate underlying mechanisms, and predict outcomes with a level of precision that traditional qualitative approaches often struggle to achieve.
