Abstract
Model revision is modifying a given model in a given situation, so that its elements better match the features of the situation for the purpose at hand. Model revision tasks feature a situation to be modeled, a provisional model that is inadequate in some way, and the opportunity to revise the model in a way that improves the fit. Provisional models may be provided or arise through the students’ work, possibly multiple times, in more encompassing tasks. Work Products can include the choice or the construction of a representation of the revised model, and an indication of the problem with the initial model and how modifications could address the issue.
