Sumario:This article presents an approach to the design of an experiment application module that includes inquiry and the nature of science (NOS) and promotes the acquisition of scientific skills. Then, through the use of the module analyze the possible changes in the epistemological perception of teachers about NOS, the incorporation of the methodology based on inquiry in didactic planning and the usefulness of the module for teaching science. The module was implemented virtually and included a series of four experiments, links to activities and articles by other authors. For the collection and analysis of data a questionnaire on the conceptions of the NOS and a Likert-type questionnaire were applied besides the review of didactic plans using a coding matrix. As part of the conclusions, it was found that the conceptions about science of those who participated in the module were deeply rooted, since no change was evidenced when applying the module. On the other hand, it was found that the module is useful as a first approach to NOS. In addition, some aspects of the inquiry were identified that should be reinforced, and be present in the didactic planning.
