Towards Operationalizing What Is Learned During Modeling
Page: 335
In this theoretical paper we leverage constructivist theories of learning to operationalize what is being learned during modeling. We do this by examining model construction through two theories: (i) schemes and concepts and (ii) abstracted quantitative structure. In addition to operationalizing what is being learned, we illustrate our operationalizations by providing examples from STEM undergraduates’ model construction activities.
