Cognitive Comparisons of Students' Systems Modeling in Ecology.
Hogan, Kathleen; Thomas, David
Journal of Science Education and Technology, v10 n4 p319-45 Dec 2001
Examines the cognition of five pairs of high school students over time as they built quantitative ecological models using STELLA software. Applies theories of the multifaceted nature of cognition to describe object-level, metalevel, and emotional dimensions of cognitive performance that help explain the observed differences among students' approaches to STELLA modeling.
