• Middle-School Science Students’ Scientific Modelling Performances Across Content Areas and Within a Learning Progression (2013, neutral): “Models are a basic tool in science and, hence, there recently has been renewed interest in the field of science education (Clement, 2000; Justi & Gilbert, 2002).”
• A Framework for Re‐thinking Learning in Science from Recent Cognitive Science Perspectives (2010, background): “The many mechanisms explored for supporting conceptual change include mental models and model‐based reasoning (Clement, 2000 ; Gilbert & Boulter, 2000 ; Harrison & Treagust, 2000 ; Justi & Gilbert, 2003 ), reasoning through analogies (Harrison & Treagust, 1993 ), and cognitive conflict.”
• Learners' Epistemic Criteria for Good Scientific Models. (2011, neutral): “…philosophers of science (e.g., Giere, 1988; Kitcher, 1993; Longino, 2002; Machamer, Darden, & Craver, 2000) and science educators (e.g., Clement, 2000; Duschl, 2008; Schwarz et al., 2009; Stewart et al., 1992; Windschitl et al., 2008) have emphasized the centrality of explanatorymodels…”
• Systems Modelling and the Development of Coherent Understanding of Cell Biology (2008, background): “A trajectory for such a learning pathway—leading from students’ idiosyncratic mental models, via intermediate models, towards a theoretical target model—is presented by Clement ( 2000 ).”
• What Teachers of Science Need to Know about Models: An overview (2011, background): “Given the model-based philosophical stance towards scientific theory and enquiry, science education researchers have awoken to model-based approaches to teaching and learning science in schools (e.g. Clement, 2000; Gilbert, 2005b; Gilbert & Boulter, 2000; Gilbert, Reiner, & Nakhleh, 2008).”
• Structure, behavior, and function of complex systems: The structure, behavior, and function modeling language (2008, background): “Clement (2000) has argued that learning is fundamentally a process of model construction and revision.”
