VASQUES BRANDAO, Rafael; SOLANO ARAUJO, Ives  y  VEIT, Eliane Angela. A case study to make sense of the thesis that scientific modeling can be seen as a conceptual field. Rev. electrón. investig. educ. cienc. [online]. 2014, vol.9, n.1, pp.1-21. ISSN 1850-6666.

In a recent work it was presented the thesis that scientific modeling can be seen as a conceptual field underlying the domain of specific conceptual fields of physics. This paper discuss the results of an exploratory case study focused to provide empirical support to this thesis. These results are related to conceptions about scientific model, advances and difficulties of conceptualization of the reality and find any evidence of possible operational invariants of a graduate student in physics education while she was working on computational modeling activities.

Palabras clave : Scientific modeling; Conceptual field; Operational invariant; Computational modeling; Physics education.
