First results and perspectives alti
Students are able to build appropriate SD-models
to business subject matters and to explain their
behavior with instructional support given
Multidimensional representation of the individual
elaborations based on the models developed with
inclusion of the corresponding explanations
(content analysis / knowledge structure)
