The philosophy of science that encourages content based science teaching is positivism or Logical Empiricism. This approach to the philosophy of science emphasizes the logical analysis of the language of science, both the language of theories and of observation, in which the content of science is expressed. There is not much role for the cognitive siences in the approach to science teaching. About all that is relevant is extensions of traditional psychological research into theaching techniques appropriate to various sciences.
