Sensemaking and scientific modeling: Intertwined processes analyzed in the context of physics problem solving

Researchers in physics education have advocated both for including modeling in science classrooms as well as promoting student engagement with sensemaking. These two processes facilitate the generation of new knowledge by connecting to one’s existing ideas. Despite being two distinct processes, mode...
