Development of Operational Observation Tools for Modeling Spatial Division Patterns
Physics Teacher, v60 n9 p784-787 Dec 2022
Science is the activity of studying the natural world in various ways to construct theories and models to explain phenomena. Windschitl et al. reported that model-based inquiry includes the connection between observable aspects of the target phenomenon and conjectured underlying causal processes. In addition, they insisted that learners are motivated to create final arguments that explain observations in terms of these underlying processes. Passmore et al. presented a framework for practice in science from the model-based inquiry perspective. The framework focuses on the central role of models in asking questions, recognizing data patterns, constructing explanations, and the criteria for evaluating knowledge claims. The framework emphasizes the need to establish models in scientific inquiry.
