An Introduction

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Modeling and Simulations for Learning and Instruction ((MSLI,volume 6))

Abstract

But common as it is, much of education clings too stubbornly to abstraction,without enough models to illustrate and enliven them. The cure for this on the learner’s side is to call for more models. Learners need to recognize that they need models and can seek them out.
