El aprendizaje del concepto de campo en física: una investigación exploratoria a luz de la teoría de Vergnaud

Results of a study on the acquisition of the field concept in physics by high school and college freshmen students, carried out under the framework of Vergnaud's conceptual fields theory, are presented. The aims of the study were to explore the links between students' cognitive structure and the formal structure of the field concept in physics, and to describe their levels of conceptualization of such a concept.
