本研究考虑了科学教育话语中经常发表和广为人知的科学性质（NOS）特征的短列表。有人认为，这些特征过于简单，对权利要求的细化可能会丰富或有时会颠倒这些特征。分析表明，需要解决的变化范围在每个特定方面的NOS，并说明这些变化与实际事件的科学史，以充分呈现的主题。该提案的另一个含义是突出科学教育工作者的核心作用，面对教育和科学哲学研究人员的各种强烈主张，他们往往难以选择教什么关于NOS。有人建议，传统的NOS索赔方面的代表性变化可能是适当的真正了解的主题。因此，利用物理学基础理论的学科文化结构，处理科学方法的多元性，有助于物理学基础理论的实际教学。
This study considers the short list of Nature of Science (NOS) features frequently published and widely known in the science education discourse. It is argued that these features were oversimplified and a refinement of the claims may enrich or sometimes reverse them. The analysis shows the need to address the range of variation in each particular aspect of NOS and to illustrate these variations with actual events from the history of science in order to adequately present the subject. Another implication of the proposal is the highlighting of the central role of science educators who, facing various strong claims of researchers in education and philosophy of science, often have difficulty in making a choice of what to teach about NOS. It is suggested that a representative variation with regard to the traditional NOS claims may be appropriate for a genuine understanding of the subject. In that, using the discipline-culture structure of the fundamental theories of physics and addressing the plurality of scientific methods may be helpful in the actual teaching and learning of NOS.
