Seel, Norbert M.
Instructional Science, v29 n4-5 p403-27 Jul-Sep 2001
Discusses situated cognition as a movement from epistemology, considers the construction of mental models, and describes a study of twelfth graders that investigated the significance of a conceptual model provided at the beginning of the learning process.
