Following a European project on the relationships between inquiry based science teaching (IBST), internet and communication tools (ICT) and a third topic, history of science, this article deals with some of the new questions raised by the recent introduction of epistemology, history of science and technology (EHST) in the school curricula. The de nition of the inquiry and the role that can be played by epistemological thinking in science education are especially analysed in this text. Based on the analysis of historical examples and many on-line resources, as a result, a new framework for the elaboration of new resources in IBST, ICT and EHST is given and some opening questions have been pointed out.
