ISE professionals should find this paper useful in understanding how scientists view the nature of science (NOS). Through interviews, the researchers have enabled a view of science as a flexible, creative and continually developing knowledge enterprise, in contrast to the regimented, experiment-driven scientific method that is most often taught in schools. The authors believe that teaching authentic NOS will certainly aid in enthusing students to learn science and take initiatives in scientific problem solving.
