“…Scientists design models with a particular scientific purpose in mind, such as explaining, visualizing, or predicting the behaviour of a scientific phenomenon (Giere, 1990;Gilbert, 1991;Gilbert, et al, 1998;Justi & Gilbert, 2002;Schwartz & Lederman, 2008). Models cannot be completely accurate and are almost always tentative, in the sense that they are open to further revision and development (Crawford & Cullin, 2004).…”

“…The relation between students' epistemological understanding of computer models and their cognitive processing on a modelling task Gilbert & Boulter, Rutherford, 1998;Raghavan, Satoris, & Glaser, 1998;Schecker, 1993;Stratford, 1997;White & Frederiksen, 1998;Zaraza & Fisher, 1999). Several authors have argued that the activity of building and revising such models is particularly well suited to provide meaningful learning experiences.…”

“…Debido a que los modelos son asumidos como representaciones, estas representaciones pueden expresarse en algún momento y esto se puede lograr a través de cualquiera de los 567 MRM que existen, por ejemplo, el material, donde un objeto físico es usado; el visual, donde un diagrama es manejado; el verbal, donde la descripción oral es empleada; o el simbólico, donde las convenciones matemáticas son utilizadas (Gilbert, Boulter y Rutherford, 1998;Justi, 2006). Igualmente, uno de los autores anteriores en otros trabajos (Gilbert, 2002, citado por Felipe, Gallarreta y Merino, 2005Gilbert, Justi y Queiroz, 2010) estableció que los modos de representación en la educación científica están divididos en cinco categorías: concreto (se elabora con materiales resistentes una representación tridimensional permitiendo expresar relaciones espaciales y temporales entre las entidades del modelo); verbal tanto hablado como escrito o simbólico (consiste en una descripción de las entidades y las relaciones entre ellas); matemático (es la elaboración de expresiones bajo la forma de ecuaciones); visual (utilizando diagramas, gráficos y animaciones) y, gestual (mediante el empleo del cuerpo o sus partes se establecen relaciones de posición y movimiento).…”

“…According to contemporary epistemological works, numerous science education researchers (Gilbert, Boulter, & Rutherford, 1998;Host, 1989;Joshua & Dupin, 1993;Robardet & Guillaud, 1997;Tiberghien, 1994;Van Driel & Verloop, 2002) agree to assign three functions to models: descriptive, explanatory, predictive. By nature a model gives a partial representation of a phenomenon because it represents 'only certain properties of reality' (Bachelard, 1979 down to performing a simulation using the model which is required to work for itself (Bachelard, 1979 of equilibrium the reaction quotient of the system has a particular value being equal to the equilibrium constant and all chemicals that took part to the change are still present.…”
