RESUMO:

In the present dissertation we propose a dialogue between Science Teaching and Inclusive Education, considering the importance that NOS (Nature of Science, pt. Nature of Science) has in the research of Science Teaching area and the growing discussion about Inclusive Education. In this sense, we investigated the ideas of blind university students about the Nature of Science, through semi-structured interviews. To this end, we designed and validated an instrument inspired by two of the main perspectives, proposed by Norman Lederman and Douglas Allchin, divided into two parts. These perspectives, in fact, differ from each other, but they are comparable. There is no impediment to using them as long as we recognize their limits and distinctions. The consensus view, headed by Lederman, has in VNOS his most widespread instrument, through which conceptions about NOS are accessed through open questions without a specific context. On the other hand, Allchin, in his criticism of VNOS and consensual lists, presents Whole Science as an alternative, having as its central characteristic the contextuality, supported by the history of the sciences. Thus, we identify and characterize the ideas of blind students of Higher Education in the absence and presence of context. The instrument consists of generic questions about science, modified from PISA and VNOS (absence of context), a case about homeopathy and a case about vaccines, followed by questions (presence of context). Within the context, the subjects were able to reach NOS aspects with greater amplitude and depth, showing to have a comprehensive notion of the sciences, listing in their arguments economic, social, political and public health aspects. With regard to the lack of context, we find a lack of epistemic arguments and, to a certain extent, a range of discussions about NOS, concerning the lack of a single and universal scientific method, for example. We also seek to understand their imaginary about scientists and whether / how they distinguish science from other forms of knowledge. The subjects, although recognizing the importance of vision for the production of scientific knowledge, do not consider it essential because, according to them, blind people may have advantageous attributes for the sciences, such as the ability to focus more on thinking than on sight.
