| Resumo: | An informed understanding of the Nature of Technology should be part of the basic scientific literacy of citizenship. This suggests that, beyond the own educational goals of the curricular area of Technology, science education would also have to set goals aimed at knowing the more characteristic features of Technology as a system, including its relationships with science. Consequently, an edu-cational experience was conducted in order to promote the understanding of basic notions on Nature of Technology in initial science teacher education. To this end, an activity was designed consisting of reading the historical controversy between Tesla and Edison about electric current, and reflecting on some Nature of Technology questions, which are visible in this. A natural class-group of 16 Physics and Chemistry teacher students of Secondary Education participated in the study. The results reveal the students experimented a moderate progression in their understandings on the aspects of Nature of Technology addressed. Even so, the study constitutes an important novelty in this line of research. The limitations and implications of the study are commented finally |
