Discussion question · 10 marks
Discuss a scenario where you have observed students struggling to link field-collected data to a conceptual systems model. How could you restructure your teaching sequence to ensure that the data collection process serves as a practical testing ground for the systems model, and what specific formative feedback strategies would you use to help students refine their diagrammatic accuracy without simply providing the 'correct' answer for them?
