✦ Synopsis

This paper describes an attempt to introduce philosophy and history of science to pre-service science teachers. I argue briefly for the view that science in the schools cannot be taught without implicitiy assuming a particular philosophy of science. Therefore, both philosophy and history of science are necessary components of undergraduate science education courses.
