Abstract
In the present study is presented a research which concerns the improvement of the undergraduate students’ understanding of NoS (nature of science). The undergraduate students participated in the instruction using narrations of stories based in the history of science and competed the Student Understanding of Science and Scientific Inquiry (SUSSI) instrument, before and after instruction. In this research are presented the differences in NoS understandings from the pre and post –instruction based on undergraduate students’ Student Understanding of Science and Scientific Inquiry (SUSSI) instrument.
