Abstract:
Because we focus on modeling in school students, rather than in professional scientists, we devote considerable effort to understanding the development of model-based reasoning and to forms of practice that support this form of reasoning. When thinking about the developmental roots for modeling, we find it useful to recall that at its most basic level, a model is an analogy.
