Modeling+Process

· Define and articulate the Issue or Problem (focus the effort) -- explicit purpose -- Reference Behavior Pattern (RBP) -- diagram · Formulate Model · Develop & Represent Dynamic Hypotheses · Think operationally: map what you can simulate --identify containers storage --characterize flows --identify feedback loops --specification and calibration (determine equations & parameters) · Test the Model · Debugging -- mechanical mistake tests -- robustness tests -- diagnosing surprise behavior · Verification --understanding model behavior and dynamics --hypothesis tests --exploring dynamic behavior · Validation --replicate RBP --challenge the boundaries (extensive & intensive) · Model Application & Transfer · Design and Evaluate Policies – policy and theory to support it -- sensitivity -- scenario · Make Learning Available (communicate) -- develop a drama -- design a learning progression -- implement a learning progression -- create in-character feedback and coaching sequences
