Sumario:Diverse strategies are created to analyze students’ learning processes. These strategies provide clues about how the researchers perceive learning. We searched the conceptions of learning shown in investigations in which students are organized in small groups in Physics classes. We analyzed 42 articles published between 2012 and 2017 in journals made available and classified as highest credibility by CAPES (Brazil). We categorized them according to concepts of mind brought from the literature. Our findings show that learning is mostly perceived as a social activity of sharing meanings (n=25). We also found 5 articles with divergent conceptions in their sections (Data Analysis and Theoretical Framework). Finally, we propose that the categories created in this study can be used as tools to evaluate how tests, instruction and research target learning.
