- catalog abstract "This book is about modelling in education and providing children with computer tools to enable them to create their own worlds, to express their own representations of their world, and also to explore other people's representations. It is about learning with artificial worlds. With the advent of the National Curriculum computer-based modelling is now an integral part of the school curriculum. Teachers are increasingly being encouraged to seek out opportunities for CBM in their own subject and across the curriculum. These new demands have left teachers and teacher trainers concerned as to their lack of experience in this area. This book sets out to provide a comprehensive guide to the area through a very novel approach by classifying modelling into three different kinds, dependent on what is involved in the activity: quantitative, qualitative and semi-quantitative modelling. This books goes beyond any present published work in the area of computer modelling.".
