La segunda es que la nanociencia y la nanotecnología se han convertido en aspectos comunes de la vida diaria a los que debería tenerse acceso, pero donde suponemos que la percepción de las escalas nano funciona como OE para la comprensión de sus alcances y aplicaciones. Por último, consideramos que en los ambientes de aprendizaje informal de los museos de ciencias, dada la naturaleza de la interacción del público con sus exhibiciones, es posible detectar dichos OE. En este trabajo, se presenta un estudio empírico que lleva a una propuesta para trabajar los OE que representan las escalas nano.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract This paper considers three main ideas. First, the notion of epistemological obstacle (EO) proposed by Bachelard, which considers that during science teaching, the learners have their own personal explanations about the world, that function as real epistemological obstacles (EO). These EO impair the understanding of scientific knowledge. The second one is that nanoscience and nanotechnology are becoming common aspects of daily life, but where the perception of nanoscales functions as real EO that interferes with is comprehension. And third, it is considered that in informal science education environments such as science museums, it is possible to detect those EO, due to the nature of the interaction between the visitors and the exhibits. In this paper an empirical research is presented, aiming to set a proposal to work with the EO represented by nanoscales.]]></p></abstract>
