Abstract
The aim of this study is to conduct a systematic review of mathematical modeling studies on geometry between 2007 and 2023. For this purpose, trends in the scope and methods of the studies to be examined were determined. A systematic literature review was conducted through ERIC, Web of Science and Scopus databases that the researcher's institution had access to. In this context, it was realized that there were a limited number of articles. All studies from the databases that met the inclusion criteria determined within the scope of the research were included. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that most of the studies dealing with geometry topics were conducted in 2022, and qualitative analysis was mostly adopted in the studies. When the application levels of the studies were examined, it was seen that conducting research with high school students was more preferred. When the aims of the studies examined are considered within the framework of findings and results, it is possible to classify the aims in 4 subcategories. These are, respectively, the transfer of mathematical knowledge outside the classroom and the effect of the techniques used in this process on the skills in the modeling process, the transfer of mathematical situations to real life situations, the effect of modeling problems on the problem solving process and activity design, and the examination of the transition between the modeling cycle steps in the modeling problem solution phase. As emphasized in the literature, the aims of the studies were generally on the development of mathematical skills through mathematical modeling. When the implementation options of the articles in the classroom were examined, geometry topics in mathematical modeling were mostly given in a technology-supported environment. In addition, it is seen that Geogebra is the most prominent application among different technological tools during modeling. In this direction, it is thought that the study will provide a holistic perspective to the data of the researches conducted so far and will give an idea to future mathematical modeling studies in geometry.
