Abstract

CAMARGO FILHO, Paulo Sérgio de; LABURU, Carlos Eduardo  and  BARROS, Marcelo Alves de. Beyond the measurement paradigms. Ciência educ. [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.4, pp.817-834. ISSN 1980-850X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320150040003.

This study carried out a survey of the main papers produced over the past decades about the understanding and thinking of the students in a measurement situation. It led to the development of a model-synthesis called Point and Set Paradigm. To develop research in this subject, a theoretical refinement is proposed to characterize the current paradigm into Categories of Conceptual Understandings which will contribute to a more thorough and qualitative understanding of students' conceptions regarding measurement.

Keywords : Physics Teaching; Measurement; Point and Set Paradigms; Conceptual understanding.
