Modeling Instruction uses a theoretical framework (the modeling cycle) around which student activities are organized.
27– 29, 31, 34– 36 The vanishing cues method was applied in six studies, 27, 28, 30, 31, 35 with four using a combination of vanishing cues and spaced retrieval, 27, 31, 35 and four (also) combining vanishing cues with modeling, verbal instruction, and a stepwise approach.
The modeling theory of instruction suggests a pedagogy that is student-centered, and it intentionally creates a community of learning through student-to-student communications.
The modeling theory of instruction asserts that building, validating, deploying, and revising models is the central activity of scientists, and students therefore should be engaged in a similar pursuit.
The modeling theory of instruction serves as a framework for the application of the modeling theory of science to the classroom.
More specifically, modeling and verbal instruction, in combination with a stepwise approach, were shown to be beneficial in the acquisition of procedural tasks.

We addressed literacy needs by simplifying complex concepts (e.g., a picture-based food guide), minimizing didactic instruction, engaging subjects in activities that reinforced key concepts over time (e.g., "foods bingo"), and modeling and experiential teaching methods (e.g., cooking lessons with participant involvement and eating healthy meals at the sessions).
This study presents a comprehensive investigation of the State Soil Geographic Database (STATSGO) and the Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO) soil databases for their applications in hydrologic modeling practices, and provides detailed instructions on soil data aggregation.
