Computational Models and Pedagogy

Computational (Science Education)

Use models to help students achieve a functional dynamic representation of the system

Manipulate model parameters and observe and record changes in model behavior

(Computational Science) Education

Modify models to include, or more realistically approximate features of the system

Iteratively validate, refine and improve the explanatory value of the model via scientific method

Re-implement the model using a different modeling approach or tool

Design and build a new model for a system of interest
