Why Models?
One of the most compelling reasons for using models, particularly when it involves the construction, validation, and application of theories is that it engages the participant in the higher level skills of thinking and experimenting.
Models also provide unique opportunities for problem solving within an environment of interactive engagement. Evidence shows that significant learning gains are achieved when people participate in interactive engagement activities. Thus, it is important that the learning environment/activity created around a model provides an interactive engagement experience.
Working with models can enhance systems thinking abilities. Models and model development is a powerful approach to visualization as well as developing conceptualizing skills.
The knowledge gained using models and the understanding of model development and implementation are transferable to numerous other disciplines.
