Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present the possible benefits of incorporating History and Philosophy of Science into the didactic aspects within the teaching of knowledge at the middle and university level. In the didactics of natural sciences, there are currently different ways of making sense of the Nature of Science (NOS) depending on variables that relate to academic preparation, teaching and learning. Results obtained from the analysis will be shown from two perspectives that include the Image of Science in teachers (Academic preparation and its teaching), and that of students of the intermediate and superior level (science and work concept of a scientist).
