Abstract
Student models are controversial components of computer-based learning systems. The aim of this paper is to review various issues concerned with student modelling and their place within the design process from the point of view of four themes of contemporary thinking: rational, pragmatic, critical and radical. It is seen than many of the recent trends in student modelling research can be related to postmodern ideas about the role of technology.
