Abstract

Drawing from analyses of teaching and learning, we posit a theoretical framework of axes, practical to epistemic and explicit to implicit, which frame four quadrants of support needed to know how and why to use the crosscutting concepts in sensemaking. This work has implications for the design of learning environments that use the crosscutting concepts in scientific sensemaking.
