the paper aimed to consider the construction of scientific knowledge from the historical-cultural perspective, focusing particular on the concept of epistemic practices for teaching and learning science in the school context. Some of Vygotski's main ideas were presented regarding the sociocultural origin of higher psychological functions, the process of mediation, language and thought, meaning and sense, insofar as it is understood that they can collaborate for the construction of scientific knowledge, through the development of epistemic practices. It is known that epistemic practices, from a histórical-cultural perspective, could be considered as a social practice established by the interactions and the dialogues between students. The Vygotski’s studies allow many other interpretations about the relationship between teaching and learning, due to the extreme amplitude of his thinking. However, it is expected that the reflections made in this paper could contribute to the process of scientific knowledge construction for students.
