Modelos mentales y modelos conceptuales en la enseñanza & aprendizaje de las ciencias
Abstract
Los modelos mentales son análogos estructurales de estados de cosas, eventos u objetos, del mundo. Las personas operan cognitivamente con modelos mentales. Entender un sistema físico o un fenómeno natural, por ejemplo, implica tener un modelo mental del sistema que le permite a la persona que lo construye explicarlo y hacer previsiones con respecto a él. Los modelos conceptuales, por otro lado, son modelos proyectados por científicos, ingenieros, profesores, para facilitar la comprensión y la enseñanza de sistemas físicos o de fenómenos naturales. Es decir, profesores y alumnos trabajan con modelos mentales, pero intentan enseñar y aprender modelos conceptuales. Los científicos, en general, diseñan modelos conceptuales, pero lo hacen a través de sus modelos mentales. Desafortunadamente, en la práctica, la relación entre modelos conceptuales y modelos mentales no es directa y simple, como se podría pensar, y eso tiene relevantes implicaciones para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de las Ciencias Físicas y Naturales, así como para la investigación en enseñanza y en aprendizaje de las ciencias.
