Description
In secondary physics education, integrating computer modelling offers diverse benefits for students, such as enhancing realism in understanding physics principles, familiarization with scientific inquiry methods and exploration of complex phenomena. Assessing metamodelling competences is crucial for effective implementation. We present an adaptation of the existing Framework for Modelling Competence (FMC) towards physics computational modelling. A interview study with Dutch pre-university students indicates strengths in the aspects Nature, Purpose and Testing but gaps in the aspects Multiple and Changing. Further refinement of competences is suggested for optimal utilization of the framework.
