QUEIROZ, Salete Linhares  and  ALMEIDA, Maria José P. M. de. Do fazer ao compreender ciências: reflexões sobre o aprendizado de alunos de iniciação científica em química. Ciência educ. [online]. 2004, vol.10, n.01, pp.41-54. ISSN 1516-7313.

The paper is based on a study of the laboratory work of undergraduate chemistry students during the time they were involved in undergraduate research projects. The aim of the study was to gain insight into what students learn about the nature of science from this approach to science instruction. The data were gathered through students’ and professors’ interviews and were analyzed using LATOUR and WOOLGAR’S concepts of sociology of science.

Keywords : Undergraduate Research; Education in Chemistry; Sociology of Science.
