Abstract
The nature of science is a subject recognized among researchers and curriculum proposals, however still find some problems, especially with regard to what teachers understand about the subject and the importance attributed to it. Another element in this discussion concerns the use of resource suitable for use in teaching and learning situations. Therefore we present a research outline still in progress which discusses the use of audiovisual and methodological support to discuss the nature of science, for that resource is being applied in an in-service education program in the Faculty of Education, University of São Paulo, Brazil. According to the preliminary results it can find some initial modifications, these enhanced by audiovisual feature tied to reflections that occur during the activities developed by teachers.
