Abstract

Even though understanding the nature of science is a topic that has been highlighted by many studies, it has yet to be incorporated into the school curriculum. Aim of this work is to study if an astronomy series of three didactical interventions can affect students’ views about the nature of science. This series is about the Venus transition, the occultation of Betelgeuse from 319 – Leona asteroid and ends with the detection of exoplanets through the transit method. The results of the series are expected to show the efficiency of the series and how it can be improved.
