Building on the major research interest of the authors for over 20 years, this volume reflects on what has been achieved at world-level in the demanding field of models and modeling in science education. Against a background of a justification for a focus on scientific modelling in science education, a model of modelling is presented and case studies of its teaching in classrooms are outlined in detail. In order to show what is entailed in the contribution of meta-modelling capability to an understanding about science itself, the notions of concept, argumentation, analogy and visualisation, are explored in depth. Realising that the development of a meta-capability in modelling is a complex and no doubt lengthy process, the potential form of a learning progression in it is explored and two avenues for its evolution are outlined. The penultimate chapter is concerned with the implications of modelling-based teaching for teacher professional development again drawing on the practical experience of the authors. Finally, the extensive holes in the research-based knowledge themes addressed is book are identified and an agenda of research and development to address them is identified.
