| Description: |
To support students in articulating complex scientific ideas, designers have created what might be called templates. Templates scaffold students in representing their ideas and revising them as they complete complex activities (Kolodner et al., 2004).
The template helps students to create a solution to a problem by de-structuring the problem into its components, and by supplying analytical and visual tools to deal with each segment. Apart from the inherent analysis, the template as a whole, allows students to integrate between segments of the solution.
