The use of History of Science in Science education has been presented in the literature as an important educational resource to promote scientific education. In this work it is presented a literature review of this subject, in which science teaching periodics between 2003 and 2013 are used as searching sources. We conclude that the historical approach has favored the learning of scientific concepts and more appropriate visions of Nature of Science in both at the average level and at the top, pointing out to further studies in research with this kind of approach.
