“…In Michael's case, his theoretical focus was primarily on conceptual change theory (Posner, Strike, Hewson, & Gertzog, 1982;Strike & Posner, 1992). Kaitlin's focus was on conceptual change theory and nature of science (McComas, 1998), and her interviews were littered with references to students' background knowledge, misconceptions, process skills, metacognition, and active engagement. In contrast, Nate's preprogram questionnaire had one reference to "inquiry using 'constructivist' methods."…”

“… El enfoque epistemológico, propiamente dicho, basado en la forma en que el conocimiento científico se genera con sus valores, supuestos y creencias (Lederman, 1999;McComas, Clough & Almazroa, 1998). Sus defensores se refieren a esta perspectiva de investigación como "naturaleza de la ciencia" y, en menor medida, como "naturaleza del conocimiento científico" (Lederman, 2006).…”

“…Según el enfoque prioritario desde la que se mire, se identifican distintos posicionamientos en las características que la identifican. Marín, Benarroch & Níaz (2013) estudiaron los distintos enfoques o líneas convergentes de investigación sobre creencias o concepciones acerca de la Naturaleza de la Ciencia y encontraron las siguientes: El enfoque epistemológico, propiamente dicho, basado en la forma en que el conocimiento científico se genera con sus valores, supuestos y creencias (Lederman, 1999;McComas, Clough & Almazroa, 1998).

“…We must recognize that there remain numerous controversies regarding the "appropriate" characterization of the nature of science in the philosophical and science education literature (e.g., that represented in the discussions of Matthews, 1994;Siegel, 1997;Stanley & Brickhouse, 1994or Good, 2005Poole, 1996;Smith & Scharmann, 1999). That said, it is important to recognize that there is some consensus in the science education community on a number of important NOS aspects deemed critical for students to understand: that scientific knowledge is empirical, tentative, creative, subjective, and socially and culturally constructed (AAAS, 1993;Lederman, 1992;McComas, Clough, & Almazroa, 1998;McComas & Olson, 1998;NRC, 1996). Despite the heated discussions as to the finer points of most appropriate portrayal of the nature of science and a strong critique of the manner in which NOS is sometimes approached (Elby & Hammer, 2001;Rudolph, 2000), the consensus view of NOS is a visceral component of current science education reform efforts.…”
