Springer Modelling-based Teaching in Science Education - Vol 9

This academic text from Springer explores why modelling should be a central part of school curricula to provide authentic science education for all students. By reviewing current literature, the book proposes a specific model of modelling designed for educational settings. Readers will find a detailed exploration of the conditions required to implement this model successfully within a classroom environment. The text uses practical experience to illustrate how these theories work in real-world teaching scenarios. It also examines how specific cognitive tools like argumentation, visualisation, and analogical reasoning support successful modelling-based instruction. This book is designed to help educators understand how these methods contribute to the learning of key scientific concepts and broader scientific understanding.
