Selection of authentic modelling practices as contexts for chemistry education
Abstract: In science education, students should come to understand the nature and significance of models. In case of chemistry education it is argued that the present use of models is often not meaningful from the students’ perspective. A strategy to overcome this problem is to use an authentic chemical modelling practice as a context for a curriculum unit. The theoretical framework for this strategy is activity theory rooted in sociocultural theories on learning. An authentic chemical modelling practice is characterized by a set of motives for model development through a well defined modelling procedure using only relevant issue knowledge. The aim of this study was to explore, analyse and select authentic chemical modelling practices for use in chemistry education. The suitability of the practices was reviewed by applying a stepwise procedure focussed on criteria such as students' interest and ownership, modelling procedure, issue knowledge and feasibility of the laboratory work in the clas
