Learning by computer modeling is claimed to yield learning gains in the fields of knowledge of dynamic systems, higher-order reasoning, and domain-specific knowledge. However, it is hard to substantiate these claims with objective test measures. It is our aim to develop a test for these knowledge types that is able to detect differential learning outcomes between different modes of instruction (e.g. modeling, learning with simulation, and expository teaching). We present a framework to distinguish learning outcomes on three dimensions: type of reasoning process, complexity of knowledge elements, and domain-specificity. Based on this framework, we propose a test with specific items for each of the resulting combinations.
