description The integration of History, Philosophy, Sociology of Science, and science education is proposed by several authors as a way to enrich science teaching, making it more humanized and critical. The approach of Education in Science-Technology-Society (STS) stands out as a means of promoting different perspectives on the historical construction of science and its relationship with society. In this sense, this study investigated the perceptions of undergraduate Physics students regarding researcher autonomy and possible internal and external influences on research topic selection. The Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) was used to analyze responses, identifying patterns in the students' perceptions. The results indicate two main perspectives: one emphasizing the lack of autonomy due to external pressures, especially financial ones, and another highlighting the possibility of choice under favorable conditions. Thus, teaching to question the power structures that shape scientific practice is fundamental. Education plays a crucial role in this process, empowering individuals to critically analyze social structures and resist external pressures. In the context of teacher education, this role is even more relevant in light of the growing global scenario of denial movements and the proliferation of misinformation, challenges faced not only in Brazil but in various regions of the world.

La intersección entre historia, filosofía, sociología de la ciencia y la educación científica ha sido defendida por varios autores como una forma de enriquecer la enseñanza de las ciencias, haciéndola más humanizada y crítica. En esta perspectiva, se destaca el enfoque de la educación en Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad (CTS) para promover diferentes perspectivas sobre la construcción histórica de la ciencia y su relación con la sociedad. En este sentido, este estudio investigó las percepciones de estudiantes de Física sobre la autonomía del investigador y las posibles influencias internas y externas en la elección de temas de investigación. Se empleó el Discurso del Sujeto Colectivo (DSC) para analizar las respuestas, identificando patrones en las percepciones de los estudiantes. Los resultados indican dos perspectivas principales: una enfatiza la falta de autonomía debido a las presiones externas, especialmente financieras, y otra destaca la posibilidad de elección bajo condiciones favorables. Por lo tanto, enseñar a cuestionar las estructuras de poder que moldean la práctica científica es fundamental. La educación desempeña un papel crucial en este proceso, capacitando al individuo para analizar críticamente las estructuras sociales y resistir a las presiones externas. En el contexto de la formación de profesores, este papel es aún más relevante dada la creciente situación global de movimientos negacionistas y la proliferación de desinformación, desafíos enfrentados no solo en Brasil, sino en varias regiones del mundo. A integração entre história, filosofia, sociologia da ciência e a educação científica é proposta por diversos autores como uma maneira de enriquecer o ensino de ciências, tornando-o mais humanizado e crítico. Destaca-se assim a abordagem da educação em Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade (CTS) como meio de promover diferentes perspectivas sobre a construção histórica da ciência e sua relação com a sociedade. Nesse sentido, este estudo investigou as percepções de graduandos em Física sobre a autonomia do pesquisador e as possíveis influências internas e externas na escolha dos temas de pesquisa.

No contexto da formação de professores, esse papel é ainda mais relevante em vista do crescente cenário global de movimentos negacionistas e proliferação de desinformação, desafios enfrentados não apenas no Brasil, mas em várias regiões do mundo.
