Expert Models and Modeling Processes Associated with a Computer-Modeling Tool
BaoHui Zhang; Xiufeng Liu; Joseph S. Krajcik
Science Education Vol. 90, No. 4 (July 2006) pp. 579–604
Holding the premise that the development of expertise is a continuous process, this study concerns expert models and modeling processes associated with a modeling tool called Model-It. Five advanced Ph.D. students in environmental engineering and...
