Book synopsis

From my experience as chemistry teacher, I realized §the importance of using the history of science (HOS) §in my teaching. HOS attracted my students in a way §that I constantly used it throughout my work. In §addition, I acknowledged its importance in §clarifying the concept of the nature of science. In §this book I tried to confirm these premises.The §purpose of this study is to investigate the effect §of using history of science, following the §historical model described by Monk and Osborne §(1997) while learning science on students' attitudes §toward science and their conceptions of three §aspects of the nature of science (NOS). These §aspects are namely the tentative, the empirical §nature of scientific knowledge, and the role of §scientists' creativity in the development of §scientific knowledge. These specific aspects of the §NOS are addressed in the historical model used. §Results of this study provided support for the use §of a historical perspective without detracting from §the content taught at school.
