MODEL-BASED LEARNING

What kind of models there was mentioned and what’s their role in learning

Mental model and hyper model are mentioned in this essay.  Model based learning defines as a dynamic, recursive process of learning by constructing mental models of the phenomenon.  Mental model influence perceptions of phenomena and understanding of information.   It involves the formation, testing, and subsequent reinforcement, revision, or rejection of mental models.  Through the model the learner can draw on knowledge and new information to construct a mental model.  Learner`s knowledge include a mental model of phenomenon. 

“Norman distinguishes not only the learners’ mental models but also the scientist’s and designer’s conceptual models of the system, as well as the researchers’ conceptualization of the learner’s mental models.”

"Hypermodels are conceptual models realized as computer models embedded in interactive curricula." 

These models interact with understanding, reasoning and generating.   

3.The number of buildings and clouds affect temperature and greenhouse gas.  Even if the satellite also affect infared photon.  The greenhouse gas make temperature highbut if there ia no greenhouse gas, the temperature decrease and become cold but I cannot see the difference between 1750 and Today.

The main thing is the number of greenaffect gas.  However, producing greenhouse gas are buildings and cars.  Therefore, it can be said the main cause is human.

I made the list of each situation.

Today: The sunlight photon never come up, they just fall.  However, the infared photon stay in the air, so, the temperature become high.

1750: Probably, the chnage of temperature is same as today but compare to today, the number of greenhouse gas is decreasing.  Howwever, in 1750 is a little bit cooler than today.

Ice age: There are no buildings and cars, so not only infrared photon but also sunlight photon come up in the air andthrough the air.  In short, infared photon do not stay in the air.  Therefore, the temperature is decreasing.

None: If there is no greenhouse gas, the temparature is decreasing, so it keeps – degree. It is hard to survive for human and some animals.

Lots:If there is a lot of greenhouse effect, infared stay in the air and keep temperature high.   

	Needs some work	Satisfactory	Good
Use of ICT			It is easy for student to understand.
Use of sources			It is fun for students to see and understand.
Report	I should understand about model of learning. Lack of knowledge.
