RESUMO:

Studies have revealed that few people understand how the scientific knowledge is built and accepted. One of the ways in which Science Education has sought to overcome this problem is through teaching about the Nature of Science (NoS). The NoS can be understood as a pedagogical construct that aims to foment, among science students, the understanding of the main characteristics of the scientific work. In recent years, researchers in the field of Natural Sciences Teaching Research (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Earth Sciences) have seek to develop ways in which it is possible to promote instruction on scientific knowledge, according to the specificity of each of these teaching areas. Aligned in this perspective that emphasizes the instruction of science according to the particularity of each sphere of the Natural Sciences, this work aims to develop the proposal of a model to teach about NoS in the context of Biology Teaching. This model, called “Integrative Model of Biology for Science Education” (MIBioEC) is based on three pillars. The first is the Reconceptualized Family Resemblance Approach-to-NoS (RFN) whose foundation is the idea of family resemblance developed by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. The main objective of this approach is to insert the discussion of NoS in the science curricula from broad categories that highlight the cognitive-epistemic and social-institutional aspects of scientific work. The second pillar consists of the conceptual framework of biology proposed by Scheiner. We argue that the five general theories of biology (cell, genetics, organisms, evolution and ecology) identified in this framework are capable of providing criteria for teaching about NoS from the specific context of the Biological Sciences. Finally, the third pillar is the pragmatic conception of models as epistemic artifacts put forward by Knuuttila. We believe that this author's proposal best considers the different ways in which models are used in scientific work. Through this view we can also consider them as concrete objects with which we can interact, work and generate knowledge. We understand that the MIBioEC has the potential to promote teaching and learning about different aspects of scientific knowledge and their construction and acceptance that are present in the Biological Sciences. To illustrate this potential, we present an example of its use to provide teaching on certains aspects of NoS from the history of cell theory.
