Students' Constructionist Game Modelling Activities as Part of Inquiry Learning Processes

摘要: Abstract : Learning science requires the understanding of concepts and formal relationships, processes that -in themselves- have been proved to be difficult for students as they seem encounter substantial problems with most inquiry-learning in which engage. Models inquiry-based learning considered powerful ‘tools’ may help enhancing their reasoning activity improving scientific concepts. Modelling, however, form exploring, designing building computer models complex phenomena has also embedded constructionist approach. Working collaboratively game microworlds by design invite explore fallible model underpinning change it so create a new game, provide opportunities bring into foreground conceptual understandings related motion Newtonian space put them test making at same time objects discussion reflection among members group. Apart from meaning generation, we study this paper, students' group i.e. construction emergent maps either plan actions engage modelling activities or report on outcomes generated when these are implemented. The connections between students’ work medium pass engaging inquiry constitute one main issues paper attempts study.
