Resumo

Esse estudo visa contribuir para o entendimento do processo de conceitualização de modelos no ensino-aprendizagem de Física articulando dois referenciais teóricos de análise: um referencial epistemológico - a teoria sobre modelos de M. Bunge - e um referencial cognitivo - A Teoria dos Campos Conceituais de G. Vergnaud. Ao discutir aproximações e distanciamentos entre as visões desses autores, apontamos a compatibilidade entre as suas compreensões sobre a natureza do conhecimento e sobre a relação entre o conhecimento e seu referente, que constitui um aspecto-chave da modelização. Concluímos que esses dois referenciais teóricos podem ser articulados e defendemos que essa articulação pode contribuir para avançar no entendimento de como os estudantes conceitualizam o processo de modelização e os próprios conceitos científicos na aprendizagem científico-escolar.

This study aims to contribute to understanding the process of conceptualisation of models in physics teaching by articulating two theoretical frameworks: an epistemological framework - M. Bunge’s theory about models - and a cognitive referential - G. Vergnaud’s Theory of Conceptual Fields. When discussing approximations and differences between the views of these authors, we point out the compatibility between their understandings about the nature of knowledge and the relation between knowledge and its referent, which is a key aspect of modeling. We conclude that these two theoretical references can be articulated, and we argue that this articulation can contribute to advance in the understanding of how students conceptualize the modelling process.
