摘要:In this paper, I argue that contemporary accounts of nature of science (NoS) are limited in their depiction of 'science' and that new perspectives are needed to broaden their characterisatio n and appeal for science education. In particular, I refer to the role of interdisciplinary characterisatio ns of science in informing the theory and practice of science teaching and learning. After a brief review on the reconceptualization of NoS fro m a range of perspectives, namel y philosophy of science, socio-political accounts of science (in the context of colonial science), linguistics and anthropology, I will focus on philosophical and economical characterisation of science, drawing out some implications for science ed ucation. A predo minant part of my argument will be theoretical in nature with some pedagogical applications in the context of an empirical project conducted in Istanbul, Turkey and co -funded by TUBITAK and Marie Curie Co-fund Brain Circulation Scheme. I will co nclude with broader implications of interdisciplinary studies on science for science education research and practice
