This analysis highlights the relevance of the nature of science (NoS) approach in a community of practice (CoP) with the use of film resources. This approach was created to develop a training course for science teachers who teach in basic education. The course took place in 2012 at the Faculty of Education at the University of São Paulo. The results show significant participation and involvement of teachers with both the theme of the nature of science and the interest growing in it for teaching purposes. The data acquisition was performed with the recording and transcription of the involvement of five teachers. Key words: community of practice, nature of science, movies, teacher training.
