MetadataShow full item record
This research was conducted on model-based reasoning and its prevalence in CSCOPE curriculum. Communications with seven CSCOPE representatives out of twenty regions revealed that CSCOPE is simply a name, not an acronym. The primary focus of CSCOPE is to impact instructional practices in the classroom to improve student performance. This report discusses the history of CSCOPE, its framework, and its exemplar lessons. It also looks at model-based reasoning, taxonomy of models, and model-eliciting activities. The research also aims to determine if the exemplar lessons in CSCOPE can be classified as model-based.
