Resumo

Objetivo. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi explorar como os estudantes de doutorado dos Estados Unidos e do Chile vivenciaram suas carreiras nas ciências da vida e como eles perceberam a natureza da ciência (NdaC) ao longo de suas vidas, incluindo suas atividades como estudantes de doutorado trabalhando em laboratórios. Metodologia. O desenho narrativo deste estudo qualitativo contemplou a realização de entrevistas individuais de história de vida com 10 doutorandos chilenos e 10 americanos, aplicando um questionário semiestruturado que aprofundou suas experiências de aprendizagem de ciências desde a infância até a idade adulta. O trabalho com os dados foi realizado a partir de uma análise temática aliada à utilização de um software de análise qualitativa para a codificação das entrevistas transcritas. Análise de resultados. O processo de socialização na prática de fazer ciência foi semelhante para os estudantes chilenos e americanos nas diferentes etapas da vida, principalmente no doutorado, onde os entrevistados referiram a criatividade como uma característica da NdaC. Conclusões. Isso suscita uma discussão sobre o papel da família, dos professores, da escola, da universidade e dos guias docentes como agentes socializadores da ciência em diferentes culturas.
