Abstract
The paper introduces a tool for analyzing the teaching venue (where and how the teaching happens) of science teachers, called Strands of Science Teaching (SST). Its construction was by analogy to the Strands of science Learning, a set of categories of analysis for the science teaching. Based on the concepts of Learning by Inquiry, the aspects of Nature of Science, and the teaching practice, the new set of categories were elaborated to analyze the teacher’s views on their teaching venue. They are (1) encouraging interest in science; (2) teaching science as a set of knowledge; (3) encouraging reflection on the nature of scientific knowledge and scientific learning; (4) engaging with the community; (5) and encouraging identification with the scientific enterprise. The SST were tested in interviews with two teachers of secondary education who teaches different science subjects, and the interviews indicated different priorities in light of the strands. It was possible to observe that for the discipline about science methods, both teachers prioritize strands 1 and 4 in their practices. On the other hand, for traditional science classes, one teacher prioritizes strand 1, and the other, strands 1 and 2. The different distributions between the Strands of Science Teaching point to different views of teaching science present in each subject. It is inferred from the analysis that the Strands of Science Teaching can be understood as an instrument for describing teaching venues, from which strands are prioritized by teachers.

Science & Education publishes research informed by the history, philosophy and sociology of science and mathematics that seeks to promote better teaching, learning, and curricula in science and mathematics. More particularly Science & Education promotes: The utilization of historical, philosophical and sociological scholarship to clarify and deal with the many intellectual issues facing contemporary science and mathematics education. Collaboration between the communities of scientists, mathematicians, historians, philosophers, cognitive psychologists, sociologists, science and mathematics educators, and school and college teachers. An understanding of the philosophical, cultural, economic, religious, psychological and ethical dimensions of modern science and the interplay of these factors in the history of science. The inclusion of appropriate history and philosophy of science and mathematics courses in science and mathematics teacher-education programmes. The dissemination of accounts of lessons, units of work, and programmes in science and mathematics, at all levels, that have successfully utilized history and philosophy. Discussion of the philosophy and purposes of science and mathematics education, and their place in, and contribution to, the intellectual and ethical development of individuals and cultures.
