| Abstract | This paper reports the results from qualitative research about Physics' students conceptions of the nature of science in a Brazilian public university, namely Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana (UEFS). We also address how these conceptions have been changed by a contextual approach to physics teaching. This approach was developed in a course that deals with Classical Mechanics, taking into account the historical and philosophical dimensions of scientific work. Data were gathered by means of the questionnaire VNOS-C and semi-structured interviews. To systematize the data, categories were constructed based on the students' answers and, subsequently, were qualitatively analyzed. The results showed a significant and positive change in the students' conceptions about the nature of science in several respects, despite the difficulty of overcoming notions deeply rooted in their epistemological views. |
