Abstract

BATISTA, Irinéa de Lourdes  and  LUCAS, Lucken Bueno. Contribuições axiológicas à educação científica: valores cognitivos e a seleção natural de Darwin. Ciência educ. [online]. 2013, vol.19, n.01, pp.201-216. ISSN 1516-7313.

In recent years, many authors have discussed the role of values in scientific activities. When searching for new ways to understand the reasons, processes and results of these activities, considerable relevance is given to the fact that scientific practices should be understood according to their social historical context. Based on the relevance of research committed to the study of the axiological influences on the dynamics of science, the present article discusses the role that the cognitive values may have upon the understanding of a biological theory - natural selection - through an epistemological historical synthesis and other philosophic historical contributions, aiming to investigate the development of a new strategic approach to teaching the evolutionary content in Biology teaching.

Keywords : Cognitive Values; Theory of Natural Selection; History of Science; Philosophy of Science; Teaching-Learning; Biology Teaching.
