Abstract

BARROS, Marcelo Alves  and  CARVALHO, Anna Maria Pessoa de. A história da ciência iluminando o ensino de visão. Ciência educ. [online]. 1998, vol.05, n.01, pp.83-94. ISSN 1516-7313.

Our aim in this article is to discuss the contributions of History of Science to the teaching of Physics. We will show two ways to use the History of Science in the classroom: by one side, serving as a tool to help the teacher to understand the difficulties of the students and, by other side, to promote a reflection on the own nature of Science.

Keywords : History of Science; Teaching of Physics; Conceptual Change; Investigation Activity; Optics; Science and Technology; Telescope.
