Resumo
The study of facts and scientific happenings is important ina sense of enabling the comprehension of the development of sciencein different contexts, such as in teaching environments, in distinctlevels, and in research. However, the interpretation of this historicconstruction must take in consideration notions of science thatovercome linear and neutral perspectives on the construction of thescientific production process. Under that perspective, this articleproposes a re-reading of the elaboration movement of DNA’s doublehelix model from Thomas Kuhn’s epistemological input. It is foundthat this is an important context which pervades scientific up bringingand formation in the field of biological science, as well as in primary asin higher education, and that the concepts developed from theelaboration of the double helix model are pivotal for the comprehensionof knowledge related to genetics, cytology, evolution and other topics.In the process of revisiting this historic moment, we have identifiedthe theoretical clashes among researchers from various fields, thecompetition and the consensus as elements which mobilize the searchfor answers in the accomplishment of a new paradigm. In this manner,science’s dynamism proves to be present, rejecting the idea of a plaingiven fact and valuing the process in which knowledge is built. Wepropose that this is a reflection exercise, considering that revisiting the history of science from different epistemological perspectives can fostersubjects new outlooks on a becoming which uncurtains concepts builtin a dynamic way by men and women who, between comings andgoings, give meaning to the phenomena that surround us.
