Abstract

This paper discuss the results of a study on the strategies used by Master Degree Physics teachers in the elaboration of pedagogical proposals that the concept of Nature of Science is used as an important issue for Physics lessons in High School. The aim of this paper is to analyze the paths followed by these teachers and verify how the current data of Science education research were considered by them. The qualitative approach was used as methodological approach and the results indicate that teachers' goals generally were achieved satisfactorily, regarding the understanding of the construction of scientific knowledge.
