Abstract

This chapter reports on the development of test instruments for the assessment of modelling skills. It summarises the progress made in the last few years and gives a rationale for the latest test used with students at the University of Ulster at the beginning of the academic year 2002/03. Results obtained from testing undergraduates in the honours course in Mathematics, Statistics and Computing are analysed and inferences are drawn about how students understand the various stages in the modelling cycle.
