CREATE Science Seminar: Cindy Hmelo-Silver

252, Erickson Hall 620 Farm Ln, East Lansing, MI

This presentation will share results from a technology-rich classroom intervention that used a conceptual representation to support reasoning about ecosystems. The Components-Mechanisms-Phenomena (CMP) conceptual representation was designed to enable students to construct coherent mental models. As part of this approach, CMP was made visible through hypermedia, simulations and a CMP modeling tool. Engaging students in… Read More »

CREATE Science Seminar Series: Joseph Dauer

115 Erickson Hall 620 Farm Lane, E. Lansing, MI

"Exploration of Cognitive and Neural Processes Used by Undergraduate Biology Students during Modeling Tasks" Modeling is a common practice for scientists and considered a core competency for all STEM disciplines from primary through postsecondary school. While widely recognized as an essential skill, researchers continue to debate how student outputs (constructed models, discussions about models, interpretation… Read More »
