The current work described in this project, aims to explore a specific aspect of NOS, namely, the scientific realism/antirealism debate. Each side of the debate is characterize…
This project aims to compare Cesar Lattes scientific practice in Nuclear Physics in 1940s to the ones of physicists who worked on the same problems in laboratories in USA and Europe. Through the comparative analysis of the skills to handle sets of scientific instruments - settled from different thought styles (FLECK, 2010) - we want to understand in which manner the experimental culture i…
Current studies indicate the importance of considering aspects of students' culture and identity in teaching-learning processes. However, when treating of Science Teaching, the possible links between science and cultural identity are not clear.
