NEVES, Marcos Cesar Danhoni. A história da ciência no ensino de física. Ciência educ. [online]. 1998, vol.05, n.01, pp.73-81. ISSN 1516-7313.

In this article is posed the importance of a physics teaching contextualized in its history, with special attention to its non-linearity and possible different readings. Several aspects of the history of science and its applicability is presented, as possible examples of a non-formal teaching. Some results of researches in spontaneous reasoning, using specific situations (specially on Earth and its place in the universe), is used in a context of possible conceptual changes and for planning classrooms activities. The use of the history of science and, specially, the cosmology, is discussed as a possibility to define new ways for fundamental researches and to change scientific paradigms.

Keywords : History of Science; Physics Teaching; Non-Formal Teaching.
