<b>História e Filosofia da ciência: um panorama em eventos e periódicos de ensino de Física</b>

Abstract

Physics Teaching in Brazil has been increasingly acknowledged as a research field. Thus, the use of History and Philosophy of Science in Physics Teaching has been drawn significant attention from government and research guidelines for education. Advances in related research in education have shown its usefulness to the teaching-learning process. However, despite the increased interest in the integration of these topics in education, there are still few concrete proposals to bring History and Philosophy of Science to the classroom. For this reason, this paper aims to draw a preliminary framework concerning researches related to this subject presented in the most important Brazilian Physics Teaching seminars and journals. To do so, we selected History and Philosophy of Science related papers, which were then classified according to their specific Physics topic and their contribution towards integration or consolidation to History and Philosophy of Science in Education. The results show that most of the papers aim to explore History, by describing or interpreting historical episodes. Also, most of papers relate to Mechanics and Modern and Contemporary Physics. Less than twenty percent of the studies propose classroom activities, which shows the distance between History and Philosophy of Science research topics and classroom practice.
