Course Information
Intended learning outcomes
Fundamentals of scientific modeling
- Students understand the concept of model based science, can identify key properties of models, and categorize models
- Students know the process of modeling and are able to critically reflect on it
- Students know the relationship between models and theories
- Students know the potential that computer support has for model-based research approaches
Fundamentals of reasoning
- Students are familiar with the basics of reasoning and reasoning in the context of model-based research
- Students can characterize the relationship between abduction, induction, and deduction
- Students know (cognitive) patterns of abduction
- Students are familiar with the forms of abduction and can identify their relevance in the context of model-based research
Modeling and computational issues
- Students understand the contribution of computer support to model-based research approaches and can critically reflect conclusions and arguments in this context
- Students are familiar with the properties of complex systems and are able to assess the contribution of computer support to modeling and simulating such systems
(Self-) Reflection of model-based research
- Students are able to critically reflect on their own model-based research
- Students can identify best practices of model-based research (especially argumentation and reasoning) in their own scientific field
Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools
- Lectures
- Discussions
- Short reflection papers
- Presentation of short reflection papers
Course content
Module 1 - The fundamentals of scientific modeling:
- What is a model? How can models be categorized?
- The process of building (simulation) models
- Models and theories (or: the received and the semantic view on theories)
- Fundamentals on the relation between modeling and simulation
Module 2 - The fundamentals of reasoning:
- Fundamentals of scientific reasoning (e.g., forms of reasoning)
- Relation between abduction, induction and deduction
- Patterns of abduction (including cognitive aspects of abduction)
- The role of model-based reasoning in scientific thinking
Module 3 - Modeling and computational issues:
- Computational models and tools for the study of cognition and model-based reasoning
- Applications of computational methods & the formulation of scientific ideas
- Modeling of complex systems
Module 4 – (Self-) Reflection of model-based research in the own area of research:
- Reflection (of the topics covered in the course) on one’s own research (the dissertation project)
- And/or: Reflection of the topics covered in the course on research in specific scientific domains
