abstract = {This paper shows a tool for the analysis of written productions that allows for the characterization of the mathematical models that students develop when solving modeling tasks. For this
purpose, different conceptualizations of mathematical models in education are discussed, paying
special attention to the evidence that characterizes a school model. The discussion leads to the
consideration of three components, which constitute the main categories of the proposed tool: the
real system to be modeled, its mathematization and the representations used to express both. These
categories and the corresponding analysis procedure are explained and illustrated through two
working examples, which expose the value of the tool in establishing the foci of analysis when
investigating school models, and thus, suggest modeling skills. The connection of this tool with other
approaches to educational research on mathematical modeling is also discussed.},
