Samenvatting

We developed a lesson where students construct a qualitative representation to learn how clock genes are regulated. The lesson, designed for upper secondary and higher education, is implemented in the DynaLearn software (level 4), which allows for modelling feedback loops. Students construct the representation step-by-step, guided by a structured workbook and built-in support functions within the software. At each step, the students run simulations to examine system behaviour and reflect on the results through workbook questions. To ensure scientific accuracy, the representation and workbook were evaluated by domain experts.
