Since I had never taught a class, I asked Dr. Sansanee Nenthien to support me in observing a classroom in my hometown\u2014Wiang Sa District, Nan Province, Thailand\u2014during the summer break between my sophomore and junior years,\u00a0toidentify a topic for my undergraduate thesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I observed in the real classroom context was that students often struggled to see the relevance of mathematics in their daily lives. They frequently questioned their teachers: Why do we need to learn this difficult math if we cannot see its use in reality?<\/em> (e.g., when buying groceries at a market). I recognized this educational issue, but did not yet know how to address it effectively. To begin, I created a vision board that attempted to answer their question directly by illustrating how mathematics connects to real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, when I attended the\u00a02014 EDUCA national conference in Thailand, I participated in a session that discussed how teachers in Finland used problem-based learning (PBL) as an approach to help students make connections between mathematics and reality. I linked that approach with the issue I faced at the Sa School in my hometown. I began reading Tan\u2019s (2003) book\u2014a copy kindly lent to me by Dr. Pairot Nuamnoom, a mathematics education faculty member at Chulalongkorn University\u2014to learn more about the PBL construct. In 2016, I purchased my own copy and continued my PBL journey, which eventually led me to attend the PBL 2020 Workshop<\/a> at the University of Delaware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
