The Role of Communication in Learning to Model
In this book, a number of experts from various disciplines take a look at three different strands in learning to model. They examine the activity of modeling from disparate theoretical standpoints, taking into account the individual situation of the individuals involved. The chapters seek to bridge the modeling of communication and the modeling of particular scientific domains. In so doing, they seek to throw light on the educational communication that goes on in conceptual learning.\ Taken...

Contributing to the study of teaching science and mathematics, European and American authors from various disciplines examine the processes involved in learning to model from the perspectives of coordinating representations, provoking more effective modeling, and collaboration and language. Among specific topics are modeling in teaching and learning elementary physics, cognitive support in computerized science problem solving, and the power of text production activity in collaborative modeling.
