DESCRIPTION:The current climate in which widely-accepted scientific claims
  are attacked by politicians suggests that teaching the nature of science 
 should be a significant aspect of science education. This study of the vie
 ws of six secondary science teachers in England raises concerns about the 
 marginalised role of the nature of science in the key stage 4 curriculum. 
 The teachers’ comments suggest that curriculum statements related to the
  nature of science can be interpreted in different ways and it is argued m
 ore guidance is required to support teachers’ understanding of areas of 
 consensus and controversy in the nature of science.\n\n
