q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

Framing statement from the article's abstract: the authors position the standards' inclusion of the modeling practice as an occasion for examining modeling's role, motivating their philosophical analysis. No empirical evidence is offered for this framing.

"The inclusion of the practice of “developing and using models” in the Framework for K-12 Science Education and in the Next Generation Science Standards provides an opportunity for educators to examine the role this practice plays in science and how it can be leveraged in a science classroom."
