Abstract

The present study explores how engaging in modeling practice, along with argumentation, leverages students’ epistemic and conceptual understanding in an afterschool science/math class of 16 tenth graders. The study also explores how students used mobile Internet phones (smart phones) productively to support modeling practices. As the modeling practices became more challenging, student discussion occurred more often, from what to model to providing explanations for the phenomenon. Students came to argue about evidence that supported their model and how the model could explain target and related phenomena. This finding adds to the literature that modeling practice can help students improve conceptual understanding of subject knowledge as well as epistemic understanding.

KiN is a popular question–answer community. A user (questioner) posts a question under a relevant topic category and the question remains open to receive answers. Any user can answer the question. However, because answerers are given a degree of expertise that is derived from questioners’ votes for the best answerer, questioners tend to prefer high-ranked answerers. EBS provides a number of educational resources related to school sciences, math, and English, and the forums play a similar role to KiN. While BRIC serves as a resource center for biology scientists, it has also been recently perceived as an expert resource for adults and secondary students.
