A brief analysis of the discourses of Physics, Biology and Mathematics undergraduates: perceptions of the nature of science. Educ. Teoria Prática [online]. 2025, vol.35, n.69, e20.

Over the last few decades, the literature has advocated the use of the History and Philosophy of Science (HPS) to discuss the nature of science (NoS) and scientific work in the educational sphere. Teachers' theoretical stance often fails to take into account contemporary historical and epistemological reflections. In view of this, inadequate conceptions of Science held by teachers can have repercussions on their praxis, influencing the construction of students' perceptions of Science. Focusing on initial teacher training courses, investigating structural elements of their composition that may or may not add to the qualification of professionals in the aforementioned subject, becomes necessary. The aim of this study was therefore to analyze the conceptions of NoS held by incoming and outgoing students of degree courses in Biological Sciences, Physics and Mathematics in the Far South Region of the State of Santa Catarina, in order to identify possible contributions (influences) of the curricular components of these courses to the construction of these conceptions. Based on the triangulation of data extracted through questionnaires, curricular elements and semi-structured interviews, it was examined – in the light of content analysis – the positive and significant existence of influences from the training course on the perception of Science expressed by some future teachers.
