Peer reviewedLohner, Simone; van Joolingen, Wouter R.; Savelsbergh, Elwin R. – Instructional Science, 2003
Compares dyads of secondary school physics students working on a collaborative modeling task using a text-based model representation, in which correct equations are required to make the model run, with others using a graphical representation, in which the model is build by qualitatively linking variables.

Peer reviewedCamacho, Fernando Flores; Cazares, Leticia Gallegos – Science Education, 1998
Illustrates the construction of conceptual models on pressure and flotation using high school students' previous ideas on these concepts. Identifies three models and uses them to analyze students' ideas about physical phenomena and to recognize the inferential structure they use. Contains 28 references. (DDR)

Peer reviewedJackson, Shari L.; And Others – Interactive Learning Environments, 1994
Discussion of dynamic modeling focuses on the development of a new modeling tool called Model-It which provides intentionally designed scaffolding for learners, enabling them to build and test dynamic models of complex systems using object-oriented and qualitative techniques. Classroom testing with high school students is described. (Author/LRW)
