Abstract

This presentation at the Seventh ISKO Conference in Granada, Spain, highlights the important ideas behind the paper, A Classification of Models that is available in the Conference Proceedings. It provides a succinct definition of scientific models and identifies the underlying premises and promises of knowledge structures and classification pinciples for organizing these complex objects and intellectual constructs. Facets of scientific models are listed and described. Smiraglia's definition of works is used along with facet analysis theory and findings about science learning skills.
