The incommensurability in science and its implications in scientific diffusion from the epistemology of Thomas Kuhn

Abstract

The importance of the explanation between the studies of epistemology for scientific and technological education reveals the need for a deeper understanding of the nature of science and its multiple dimensions. The incommensurability of Kuhn's theory points out that it is not possible to trace common points between divergent theories, there is no way to go to the same point, there are several types of terms specific to a scientific community. To work science education in some aspects such as scientific research through activities that lead students to know how to establish knowledge and to argue that the transmission of knowledge is related to a historical, social, cultural and political factor, for example, as multiple faces of the nature of science.
