van Buuren, Onne; Heck, André; Ellermeijer, Ton – Research in Science Education, 2016
A learning path has been developed on system dynamical graphical modelling, integrated into the Dutch lower secondary physics curriculum. As part of the developmental research for this learning path, students' understanding of the relation structures shown in the diagrams of graphical system dynamics based models has been investigated. One of our…

van Eijck, Michiel; Goedhart, Martin J.; Ellermeijer, Ton – Research in Science Education, 2011
Polysemy in graph-related practices is the phenomenon that a single graph can sustain different meanings assigned to it. Considerable research has been done on polysemy in graph-related practices in school science in which graphs are rather used as scientific tools. However, graphs in science textbooks are also used rather pedagogically to…
