Mentale Modelle

CONCEPT as a Travelling Concept in Subject-Matter Teaching and Learning

“…However, this position has never gained wider acceptance, partly because models are conceptualized in object-like form from the instructional side as well, not just from the cognitive side (cf. the two approaches in: Nitz & Fechner, 2018). 9 I do not claim that Johnson-Laird himself had such a view.…”

Comparing drawing tasks and elaborate single-choice questions in simulation-based learning: how do they facilitate students’ conceptual understanding on chemical equilibria?

“…Consequently, learners need to rely heavily on their mental models as cognitive tools to access the elusive particle level (Johnstone, 1993;Briggs and Bodner, 2005). Nitz and Fechner (2018) describe mental models as individual, cognitive equivalents of a phenomenon, visualizing its structure and dynamics as well as spatial, temporal and causal relationships, which learners construct during cognitive functioning, e.g. when they are trying to understand a specific phenomenon or solve a specific problem (Johnson-Laird, 2010;Ibrahim and Rebello, 2013;Nitz and Fechner, 2018).…”

However, researchers can't access mental models directly (Nitz and Fechner, 2018) but have to rely on the interpretation of students' expressions and/or behaviours (Schecker and Duit, 2018).…”
