Articulation between the Triangular Approach and the Conceptual Field Theory: proposing dialogues between didactics and cognitive psychology

Abstract

This theoretical work seeks to do an approximation between Barbosa’s Triangular Approach and the Vergnaud’s Conceptual Fields Theory. To do this, we chose as the focus of our analysis the subject in action, which is the main link between the two theoretical models. This articulation can be made through the use of Vergnaud's concept of "operational invariant", since he is able to articulate both subjective and cultural dimensions of a subject in action. We forward our study of the process of conceptualization of students in Visual Arts. We hope that this work can serve as a theoretical basis for the construction of didactic sequences based on the action of the subject and that, in this way, subsidize both teachers and researchers in Visual Arts.
