A Framework for Idenifying Student Blockages during Transitions in the Modelling Process In this article we present, illlustrate, test and refine a framework developed by Gaibraith, Stillman, Brown and Edwards (2006) for identifying student blockages whilst undertaking modelling tasks during transitions in the modelling process. The framework was developed with 14-15 year old students who were engaging in their first experiences of modelling at the secondary level.
