Critical assessment of the scientific field of the nature of science (NOS) and search for synergies with an alternative agenda for the nature of the sciences (NOTSs)
Abstract
This paper examines the literature around the current consensus-based agenda of the Nature of Science from an epistemological perspective and concludes that this scientific field in the area of Science Education does not have a strong enough explanatory and heuristic power due to the way it is structured. It then attempts to show how an alternative Nature Of The Sciences agenda that focuses on the unique epistemological features of each science can help the field overcome its epistemological problems.
