The relevance of the conceptual learning in control education is analyzed in this paper. It indicates a concepts-on view of control education. This approach, that already is the tacit model of classroom education, tries to complement recent control educational trends. In this context, it presents a recent project called “Virtual Control School” in development at the Federal University of Santa Catarina. This project tries to integrate pedagogical, computational and epistemological aspects in order to assist the control teaching and learning processes.
