Evolutionary Maps: A new model for the analysis of conceptual development, with application to the diurnal cycle

Abstract: This paper presents a model of how children generate concrete concepts from perception through processes of differentiation and integration. The model informs the design of a novel methodology (evolutionary maps or emaps), whose implementation on certain domains unfolds the web of itineraries that children may follow in the construction of concrete conceptual knowledge and pinpoints, for each conception, the architecture of the conceptual change that leads to the scientific concept. Remarkably, the generative … Show more

“…A few have reached level 3 with respect to the day's length, but all integrations are fragmentary or erroneous. This suggests that current curricula for primary education may underestimate the difficulty of basic observational concepts, which learning might be wrongly taken for granted, and provides additional support to the recommendation to start conceptual development at schools from empirical experiences (see also Navarro, 2014).…”

“…La dimensionalización y parametrización del tiempo -en cuyo origen probablemente se halla la diferenciación día/noche y su integración como sucesión cíclica-es, a pesar de su abstracción, claramente anterior a la espacial -del cielo- (Navarro, 2014), presumiblemente debido al intenso papel que juega en el «mundo de la vida» (Habermas) del sujeto social, lo que propicia una más temprana toma de conciencia de la posibilidad de «distintas duraciones del día». La diferenciación de la culminación (concebir que la culminación puede adoptar distintos valores) requiere una dimensionalización vertical del cielo, que es más fácil que la horizontal, ya que los dos sentidos son asimétricos debido a la gravedad y, además, existe un referente invariante -el horizonte- (Navarro, 2014). Sin embargo, la dimensionalización horizontal (a la altura del horizonte) es enseñada en la escuela (los puntos cardinales).…”
