Philosophy of science propositions with "high theory-ladenness" that may have an incidence in science education: a comparative study

Assuming the nature of science (NOS) as a set of items of meta-theoretical content with value for science education, we understand that in this area the prioritised models are generated in the philosophy of science, with the aim of helping citizens to generate answers around the issues of what science is, how it changes in time, and how it relates to its social and cultural context. The purpose of this document is to collect and compare some of what we call 'propositions with high theory-ladenness' in relation to the philosophy of science presented in specialised documents that are references for some members of the community of science education working in NOS.
