“…This model receives emergent if perhaps contentious support from the fields of cognitive psychology (e.g., Amit, 1989;Heath, 2000;Nicolis, 1991;Robertson & Combs, 1995) and the cognitive neurosciences (Freeman, 1995;Skarda & Freeman, 1987;Tsuda, 2001) in which the chaotic "fluttering in the brain that causes a hurricane of behaviour" (Pinker, 1997) is thought by some to be associated with the recursive, self-organizing activity that might allow ideas to develop and grow exponentially and by nonlinear increments (Anderson, 1997). Despite the limitations associated with their work, Luffiego et al (1994) considered it possible to compare the basic qualitative characteristics of learning alongside all other chaotic systems even if they could not be defined in pure mathematical or computational terms. Within this particular theoretical and analytical framework, the knowledge structures or conceptual schema within most cognitive systems are defined as powerful information "attractors" for they exhibit general stability and ultimately give rise to "final-states" of knowledge.…”

“…Developing this notion of chaos in cognition, Luffiego et al (1994) have provided a relatively little known but advanced model of science learning involving the evolution of a conceptual structure in order to specifically describe the state of a learner's cognitive system before, during, and after the input of new information associated with teaching or instruction. This model receives emergent if perhaps contentious support from the fields of cognitive psychology (e.g., Amit, 1989;Heath, 2000;Nicolis, 1991;Robertson & Combs, 1995) and the cognitive neurosciences (Freeman, 1995;Skarda & Freeman, 1987;Tsuda, 2001) in which the chaotic "fluttering in the brain that causes a hurricane of behaviour" (Pinker, 1997) is thought by some to be associated with the recursive, self-organizing activity that might allow ideas to develop and grow exponentially and by nonlinear increments (Anderson, 1997).…”

“…Es verdad que existe una amplia variedad de investigaciones para explicar el cambio o modificación conceptual, por lo que una forma de organizarlas para observar sus características generales la proporcionan Özdemir y Clark (2007), al dividirlas en dos grandes grupos: a) propuestas centradas en el conflicto cognitivo; y, b) elementos fenomenológicos, factores, facetas, narrativas, modelos mentales y etapas del desarrollo. Este último grupo es considerado por el "modelo sistemático de evolución conceptual" desarrollado por Luffiego et al (1994). Para estos autores, el conocimiento pasa de una relativa estabilidad a una inestabilidad que, poco a poco, busca regresar a un equilibrio, no sin antes verse influido (adquisición y pérdida de conocimientos) por diversas variables, tales como: la motivación, la formación, la estructura conceptual, la inteligencia, el tipo de educación y la condición social (ver figura 1).…”

“…Sin embargo, si acaso no es posible hacerlo, entonces se procede a reestructurarlo con nueva información que permita regresar a un equilibrio. Aquí es donde interviene la diferencia que existe entre cada individuo para el desarrollo de nuevos conceptos, ya que como Luffiego et al (1994) afirman, dicho aprendizaje es impredecible debido a que cada sujeto aprecia de manera distinta el fenómeno de donde provienen dichos conceptos y su capacidad para esquematizarlos.…”

“…réciproques, et de les formuler sous forme de lois ou de principes, en tentant de s'abstraire des caractéristiques individuelles des apprenants et des contextes (Van der Maren, 1996). Par ailleurs, pour mieux rendre compte du caractère complexe du phénomène de la compréhension en sciences, nous avons adopté une méthode systémique où les variables considérés sont interreliées sous forme d'un tout organisé, représenté sous forme d'un schéma (Luffiego, Batista, Ramos et Soto, 1994 ;Salomon, 1991).…”
