TRIGUEROS GAISMAN, María. Ideas acerca del movimiento del péndulo: un estudio desde una perspectiva de modelación. RMIE [online]. 2006, vol.11, n.31, pp.1207-1240. ISSN 1405-6666.

A modeling perspective offers elements for designing a methodology to promote students’ reflection on the important concepts of physics and their relation to mathematics. This study reports on an experience within a specific context of modeling. A study is made of oscillatory movement, and in particular, of pendulum movement. The results reveal students’ conceptions of this type of movement, the forces, the decomposition of vectors in components, and variation. Some examples of the conceptual evolution of the project’s participants are also provided.
