Models and modelling play a central role in the nature of science,
in its conduct, in the accreditation and dissemination of its
outcomes, as well as forming a bridge to technology. They therefore
have an important place in both the formal and informal science
education provision made for people of all ages. This book is a
product of five years collaborative work by eighteen researchers
from four countries. It addresses four key issues: the roles of
models in science and their implications for science education; the
place of models in curricula for major science subjects; the ways
that models can be presented to, are learned about, and can be
produced by, individuals; the implications of all these for
research and for science teacher education. The work draws on
insights from the history and philosophy of science, cognitive
psychology, sociology, linguistics, and classroom research, to
establish what may be done and what is done. The book will be of
interest to researchers in science education and to those taking
courses of advanced study throughout the world.
