###What is Model-based Learning(MBL)?
How students learn: science in classroom

five epistemic features of scientific knowledge:(Windschitl,Thompson, & Braaten,2008)
testable 可验证性
revisable 可修改性
explanatory 解释性
conjectural,and 推理性
generative 启发性

###Why to promote MBL now?
科学不仅仅是科学知识，还包括科学过程和科学的本质。学生不仅应该了解科学知识是什么，还应该了解科学知识是如何产生和发现的。MBL能够体现科学的全过程，是更真实的科学。
科学探究在一线教学中面临很多困难，由于教学资源和时间的限制，学生很难有机会检验自己的假说是否正确，也较少有体会出自己的研究问题的机会。计算机模拟则可以解决这些困难，为学生提供模拟的科学探究体验。
对于有效教学行为的研究所揭示的高效教学列表中，基于模型的科学探究覆盖了绝大部分的有效行为。因此，它是一种非常值得提倡的一种教学实践方式。
