Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

This research addressed the influence of the French naturalists in the Portuguese science textbooks, regarding the presentation of the theories of the origin of species. With this aim it was studied five representative textbooks of Natural Science of the XIX and XX centuries, through a chart of the following categories of analysis: French naturalists; nature of science; History of Science. The results show that the creationist or evolutionary conceptions from different French naturalists were frequently mentioned by the authors of textbooks. That approach was carried out according to the nature of science perspectives currently characterized as positivist or post-positivist and using sources of History of Science.
