Sensevy, Gerard; Tiberghien, Andree; Santini, Jerome; Laube, Sylvain; Griggs, Peter – Science Education, 2008
Models and modeling are a major issue in science studies and in science education. In addressing such an issue, we first propose an epistemological discussion based on the works of Cartwright (1983, 1999), Fleck (1935/1979), and Hacking (1983). This leads us to emphasize the transitions between the abstract and the concrete in the modeling…
