Abstract

Nowadays, Science is perceived by most of the students enrolled in the Brazilian high school system as a set of dogmas resulted from observation processes and disconnected from its social context. This article aims to discuss this issue and present proposals to modify this reality. The suggested pathway explores the content of the history of science, worked by teachers of human sciences, natural science and mathematics, simultaneously. History of science must be comprehended as being produced by human beings inserted in a historical context, and that can address diverse aspirations. It becomes essential for the formation of a critic who would know how to correctly evaluate the social implications of the use of science and technology.
