The history of science constitutes of a fecund epistemological practice for philosophical exercise and why not also didactic Science. A reflection on the use of the History of Science in teaching hereby presents possibilities for the historical approach be included to the contents the teaching of science in order to enable the recognition of scientific activity as a process influences permeated. Reflecting the contributions that the History of Science has to offer to education, this research discusses the parallels of this approach in the sociointeracionista perspective. Specifically, bases its insertion Theory of Assimilation by Steps Galperin's. Theory that considers that learning is a result of actions organized for the formation of knowledge and search from the domains that students already possess in favor a prospective, transformer and qualitative education with potential for new knowledge. It was aimed to comprehend how the senses about the history of science are constituted, appropriate and used in the teaching practice of students in initial formation in Biological Sciences. The research was conducted with undergraduates at the State University of Maringa, Parana, Brazil, belonging to the study group's Scholarship Program Initiation to Teaching in Biology (Pibid). The intervention used as a methodological support for the Theory of Assimilation Steps Galperin and theoretical support as historical episode Robert Hooke and his cork notice contained in the work Micrographia. Were part of the data analysis, the speeches from the initial and final interviews; discussions fostered during replication of the historical episode cork notice; discussions on the translation of the original description of Micrographia and activities of epistemological analysis and excerpts from Biology textbooks. The analysis of the senses, made from the Dialogic Discourse Analysis device of the Bakhtin Circle has shown that undergraduates conceive a diversified way scientific activity, sometimes neutrally now full of influences. The appropriation of the discourse of history of science were applied to the identification of mistaken in textbook contextualization as the episode the presumed discovery of the cell by Hooke. In pedagogical practice these undergraduates, using the discourse of history of science is valued and recognized as necessary, however, its use is limited when ideologies constituted by the everyday take on teacher professional attitude.
