In what sense the conceptual fields theory might help us to facilitate meaningful learning?

A student expresses his/her scientific knowledge simultaneously through his/her way of acting in situation (operative form), and through statements and explanations that she/he is able to communicate (predicative form). The sense is in the activity that she/he develops and not only in the liguistic...
