Abstract
The focus of this article is to expand María del Mar Aragón, José Antonio Acevedo-Díaz and Antonio García-Carmona’s paper “Prospective Biology teachers’ understanding of the nature of science through an analysis of the historical case of Semmelweis and childbed fever” by focusing on the discussion about teaching non-epistemic aspects of NOS. This article will draw on my own research at secondary schools in London, U.K. to illustrate different possibilities to broaden this inclusion of non-epistemic aspects into school science through the use of an intercultural perspective to History of Science, that is, to how historical cases are employed to teach about NOS.
