Presentation Transcript

  1. What Do We Mean by Model?

  2. I - Model Development • Students in cooperative groups • design and perform experiments. • use computers to collect and analyze data. • formulate functional relationship between variables. • evaluate “fit” to data.

  3. I - Model Development • Post-lab analysis • whiteboard presentation of student findings • multiple representations • verbal • diagrammatic • graphical • algebraic • justification of conclusions

  4. Preparing Whiteboard

  5. Making Presentation

  6. II - Model Deployment • In post-lab extension, the instructor • brings closure to the experiment. • fleshes out details of the model, relating common features of various representations. • helps students to abstract the model from the context in which it was developed.

  7. II - Model Deployment • In deployment activities, students • learn to apply model to variety of related situations. • identify system composition • accurately represent its structure • articulate their understanding in oral presentations. • are guided by instructor's questions: • Why did you do that? • How do you know that?

  8. II - Model Deployment • Objectives: • to improve the quality of scientific discourse. • move toward progressive deepening of student understanding of models and modeling with each pass through the modeling cycle. • get students to see models everywhere! • Ultimate Objective: • autonomous scientific thinkers fluent in all aspects of conceptual and mathematical modeling.
