In this study, there were 31 students divided in 10 groups and engaged in the MEA ＂Who saved the oriental cherry trees＂. Data collections included the learning sheets, journals and debriefing forms of students, teaching and reflection journals, observation reports, and field notes of teachers, reflection journals and interview reports of researchers, video tapes and records of the classes and meetings. There were four parts of the teaching cycle in PCDC-IM, namely task, guidance, environment and analysis. We summarized developing and implementing the MEA in ＂Task＂ aspect, 5 principles and 5 kinds of teachers＇ roles in ＂Guidance＂ aspect, 2 elements and 5 features in ＂Environment＂ aspect and data in ＂Analysis＂ aspect. The findings showed that PCDC-IM was helpful for mathematics teachers who want to change their instruction from lecture into modeling teaching.展开更多
