Susan C. Mirabal; Darcy A. Reed; Yvonne Steinert; Cynthia R. Whitehead; Scott M. Wright; Sean Tackett – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2024
While explicit conceptual models help to inform research, they are left out of much of the health professions education (HPE) literature. One reason may be the limited understanding about how to develop conceptual models with intention and rigor. Group concept mapping (GCM) is a mixed methods conceptualization approach that has been used to…

Solaz-Portoles, Joan Josep; Lopez, Vicent Sanjose – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2007
In this paper we focus on some of the findings of the science education research community in the area of representations and problem solving. Problem solving depends on the construction and manipulation of mental models (internal representations) in the mind. A large knowledge base (declarative, procedural, strategic, situational, and schematic…
