“…This scientific consensus model is used to analyze students' understanding difficulties by identifying "dissonances" with children's ideas (e.g., Driver, 1985;Krnel, Watson, & Glazar, 1998, 2003Mortimer, 1998;Stavy, 1991). The core of these difficulties, at early ages, is considered to be the children inability to differentiate between material (something which is visible, perceived and handled as a continuous stuff) and a "particle" related to a determined level of organization of atomic-molecular matter (something which is invisible and discontinuous, whatever were the degree of conceptualization), a situation which results in (micro) particles being bestowed with properties which correspond to visible (macro) material.…”

“…Both those in philosophy of science (Giere, 1988(Giere, , 1997Nersessian, 2002) and science education from American and European traditions (Clement, 2000;Duschl, 2000;Duschl & Hamilton, 1998;Gilbert & Boulter 2000;Gobert & Buckley, 2000;Grandy, 2003;Harrison & Treagust, 2000;Lehrer & Schauble, 2005;Rumelhard, 1988;Tiberghien, 1994;White & Frederiksen, 1998 among many others) have acknowledged the need to consider modeling as a key process in teaching and learning science. The agreement is based on considering models as intermediaries between children's capacity of interpreting natural facts and the multiple aspects of these facts that substantially work by representing hidden semantic connections and organizing them in a comprehensive meaning.…”

“…Ciência & Educação, Enseñanza de las Ciencias, International Journal of Science Education, Revista Electrónica de Enseñanza de las Ciencias, Science & Education, Science Education, etc. ), estableciendo formas de entender los modelos en la enseñanza que -con mayor o menor conciencia por parte de los didactas-recurren a aportaciones epistemológicas vigentes que podría-mos llamar "modeloteóricas" (en inglés, "model-based") " (Grandy 2003;Koponen 2007;Adúriz-Bravo 2010;Oh & Oh 2011). Todo ello empieza a constituir una incipiente didáctica modeloteórica de las ciencias (Develaki 2007;Adúriz-Bravo 2010, 2013Ariza 2014).…”

“…Por tanto, creemos necesario retomar los análisis de los fundamentos epistemológicos que subyacen a la noción de modelo científico para intentar responder a cuestiones como qué son los modelos y por qué se los necesita en la enseñanza de las ciencias (cf. Grandy 2003). Las respuestas a estos cuestionamientos podrían (o más bien deberían, en caso de acudir al análisis epistémico) ser abordadas en conjunto con la pregunta acerca de cuáles concepciones de modelo científico -de las muchas disponibles en la epistemología-se nos aparecen hoy en día como las más adecuadas para la didáctica de las ciencias.…”

“…Los modelos y la modelización han adquirido gran relevancia en los estudios de filosofía y enseñanza de las ciencias; sin embargo, actualmente conviven diversas posturas sobre qué son y cómo se construyen los modelos científicos y los escolares (Grandy, 2003;Matthews, 2007). El enfoque de modelización al que aquí nos adherimos se inserta en la llamada concepción semántica de las teorías (Giere, 1988).…”
