“…The article (Heering, 2014) is devoted to the problem of implementing historical approaches to teaching students in Germany. This publication provides a general analysis of historical approaches in teaching and their role in German natural science education, as well as some ideas about modern approaches implemented in German educational institutions.…”

The purpose of this article is to develop the content and methods, as well as the analysis of the approbation of the program of the academic discipline "History and methodology of mathematics" for graduate students of the Master's program of mathematical program tracks. The leading method in the study of this problem was the method of modeling the work program of the academic discipline "History and methodology of mathematics", as well as the selection and structuring of the system of classes of different types, which allowed us to generate a logically constructed course. The structural model of the curriculum "History and methodology of mathematics" has been developed and presented; the selection and structuring of this course has been carried out, which combines such meaningful lines interwoven with time and history as: 1) history of mathematics, 2) history of mathematical education, 3) philosophy of mathematics, 4) methodology of mathematics; the types of classes on selected topics have been offered; the examples of the successful implementation of creative ideas are given which can be adopted and taken as a basis by other academic researchers. The competent teaching of the academic discipline "History and methodology of mathematics", based on the developed work program with the application of the proposed forms of classes, broadens the scientific horizons of graduate students of mathematical and pedagogical program tracks and allows them to focus on educational, scientific and methodological types of the future professional activity. The materials of the article can be useful for graduate students of mathematical program tracks for teaching university teachers of mathematics.

“…For teaching history of science, Chamizo (2012) used the restructured heuristic to enhance inservice teachers" understanding scientific investigation in chemistry from past to present. However, the historical studies mainly refer to the field of physics education rather than biology (Heering, 2014). Actually, no study has appreciated the role of Vee diagrams in understanding the aspects of NOS by reflecting on both the history of science and scientific process.…”

Vee diagrams have been a metacognitive tool to help in learning the nature and structure of knowledge by reflecting on the scientific process and making knowledge much more explicit to learners during the practical work. This study aimed to assess pre-service science teachers" understanding some aspects of NOS by analyzing their reflections on the Vee diagrams constructed during the general biology laboratory course. In this single case study, elementary pre-service science teachers who cited mainly "the cell theory" in their Vee diagrams while building around the cell concepts were asked to participate in focus group reflective interviews. These interviews compared the patterns of the nature of scientific knowledge to the ways their constructed the cell related concepts. The content analysis of transcripts revealed that pre-service teachers gained a superficial understanding of history of scientific ideas in the development of the cell biology, not a deeper epistemological understanding in conceptualizing a contemporary understanding of the aspects of NOS. The emergent categories of naive understandings and misconceptions held by the participants were demonstrated and discussed in the light of NOS related literature.
