Models in Science Education: Applications of Models in Learning and Teaching Science.

In this paper, I discussed different types of models in science education and applications of them in
learning and teaching science in particular physics. Based on the literature, I categorized models as conceptual and
mental models according to their characteristics. In addition to these models, there is another model called “physics
model” by the physics-education community. And then, I discussed applications of these models for learning and
teaching science particularly physics along with examples that can guide teachers and students in their science
courses.
