| Abstract | THIS ARTICLE COMPLEMENTS the one onMaking Models and Reasoning with Them in this journal in Spring 1997 (Vol 8). The paper is about the Tools for Exploratory Learning Programme, which was part of an ESRC national initiative on Information Technology in Education. The research created both tasks and tools to investigate the quality and nature of pupils’ reasoning when using three kinds of modeling tools (quantitative, qualitative and semiquantitative, this latter kind of modeling was the focus of the 1997 article).Tasks and tools were used in two innovative modes of learning: expressive, where pupils created their own models, and exploratory, where pupils investigated an expert’s model. Cross curricular tasks covered three topics: health, shops and profits, and traffic congestion. Average pupils, girls and boys between 11 and 14 years, each worked with one tool, on one task, in one mode of learning. After having either created or explored a model, pupils where asked to modify their own or another’s model and/or build new ones.This article focuses on the qualitative and quantitative modeling. Our findings showed that all pupils could construct a model, even if limited, in expressive tasks, with both tools. With quantitative tasks all pupils could build some model, almost exclusively from binary relations. With qualitative tasks, (where the tool linked situations and actions) generation of actions was easy for all, but situations were more difficult for about half the pupils. However, nearly all pupils generated fairly complex interconnected structures. When exploring quantitative models many pupils saw the model as generating one answer. With qualitative models, the action-situation structure was understood by the majority and about half showed some appreciation of the nature of the model as a whole. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
