“…To answer this research question it is important to understand the evolution of an instrument designed to measure five mental model styles individuals might employ when operating in their organizations. Five mental model styles have been identified including political, financial, efficient, social, and systems (Chermack et al, 2011b). These styles are described in the following section, and research hypotheses are defined.…”

“…The Mental Model Style Survey (MMSS) was developed specifically to assess peoples' views of how their organization generally operates (Chermack et al, 2011b). The majority of approaches to studying mental models include qualitative, mind-mapping, and intuitive techniques that highlight the individualistic nature of mental models (Carley and Palmquist, 1992;Dudzinska-Przesmitski and Grenier, 2009).…”

“…While not a definitive list of mental model styles of organizations, the categories or factors were distilled through a modified Delphi process with subject matter experts (Chermack et al, 2011b). While it is possible for individuals to hold more than one mental model style when viewing their organization, the utility of the MMSS is maximized when aggregating results for larger samples.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to assess the effects of scenario planning on participant mental model styles. Design/methodology/approach -The scenario planning literature is consistent with claims that scenario planning can change individual mental models. These claims are supported by anecdotal evidence and stories from the practical application of scenario planning. This research study documents the responses of 129 participants from 10 organizations using the mental model style survey as a pretest and posttest, with scenario planning as the intervention. Paired samples t-tests were performed between participant pretest and posttest, to test hypotheses on all five factors of the mental model style survey. Findings -Results provide evidence that scenario planning can change individual mental model styles. More specifically, results show that scenario planning promotes efficiency, social, and systems mental model styles, with moderate effect sizes.Research limitations/implications -The implications of this research include contribution to the growing body of quantitative studies attempting to document the impact scenario planning has on participants. Implications for future research include the use of control groups to isolate effects of the scenario planning intervention. Originality/value -The study documents one of the largest sample sizes to date in scenario planning research and makes a clear contribution in clarifying significant changes in mental model styles from pretest to posttest.

“…Students' understanding of these two dimensions will affect the way students think about physics concepts, especially in heat and temperature. Students who can understand both dimensions will find it easy to solve physics problems related to phenomena that occur (Chermack et al, 2012;Jansoon et al, 2009;Priyadi et al, 2018). The ability of students to solve any given problems determines the level of mental models they have.…”

“…The mental model is a unique internal representation that is owned by each student. Mental models are also used to construct their experiences to be more meaningful (Chermack et al, 2012;Hendriani & Suhandi, 2017;Kara & Ertürk, 2015), and to understand their minds to construct new knowledge (Busselle, 2017;Fazio et al, 2013;Garcia-Nunes et al, 2017;Rook, 2013;Schmidtke & Cummings, 2017). Mental models become one of the cognitive abilities that must be trained in learning (Chiou, 2013;DeChurch & Mesmer-Magnus, 2010;Didiş et al, 2014;Van den Bossche et al, 2011).…”

Abstrak Kami telah mengembangkan tes sebagai analisis model mental pada materi suhu dan kalor. Penelitian pengembangan ini didasarkan pada pentingnya mengetahui tingkatan model mental siswa. Model mental merupakan representasi internal siswa dalam memahami sebuah konsep. Penelitian ini menggunakan model pengembangan 4-D. Produk yang dihasilkan merupakan instrumen analisis model mental berupa soal terbuka. Selanjutnya, instrumen tes model mental diujicobakan kepada responden (N=90) untuk mengukur validitas dan reliabilitas. Tes yang telah dikembangkan terdiri dari 8 soal dengan reliabilitas sebesar 0,667. Berdasarkan analisis data, instrumen tes model mental pada materi suhu dan kalor layak digunakan sebagai instrumen penilaian. AbstractWe have developed test inventory as an analysis of mental models on heat and temperature topics. This development research based on the importance of knowing the level of students' mental models. The mental models are a student's internal representation of understanding a concept. This study uses a 4-D model. The product being produced is a mental model analysis consists of open-ended questions. Furthermore, mental models test were tested on respondents (N = 90) to measure the validity and reliability. The test that has been developed consists of 8 questions with a value of reliability is 0.667. Based on data analysis, the test of mental models on heat and temperature topics is feasible to use as an assessment instrument.
