Abstract

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of the Nature of Science and Teaching (NSAT) course, which is included in the general culture elective curriculum of the faculty of education, on the students' thoughts about the nature of scientific knowledge. The sample of the study consists of 44 students taking the Nature and Teaching of Science (NTS) course. In this course, subjects related to the nature of science were discussed based on students' thoughts. At the beginning and end of this process, the "Nature of Science Scale" (NSS) was applied to the students. The pre-test and post-test data of these applications were analyzed quantitatively. When the results of the analysis were evaluated, it was determined that the NTOS course led to a statistically significant improvement in the sub-dimensions of "Subjectivity and Technology in Science" and "The Place of Theories in Science" in students' thoughts on the nature of science.

Özet

ÇÇalışmanın amacı, eğitim fakültesi genel kültür seçmeli ders programında yer alan Bilimin Doğası ve Öğretimi (BDVÖ) dersinin, öğrencilerin bilimsel bilginin doğasına ilişkin düşüncelerine olan etkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışmanın örneklemini Bilimin Doğası ve Öğretimi(BDVÖ) dersini alan 44 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Bu derste bilimin doğasına ilişkin konular öğrencilerin düşüncelerinden yola çıkılarak tartışılmıştır. Bu sürecin başlangıcında ve sonunda öğrencilere “Bilimin Doğası Ölçeği”(BDÖ) uygulanmıştır. Bu uygulamaların ön test ve son test verileri nicel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde, BDVÖ dersinin öğrencilerin bilimin doğasına ilişkin düşüncelerinde “Bilimde Öznellik ve Teknoloji” ve “Bilimde Teorilerin yeri” alt boyutlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde gelişime yol açtığı tespit edilmiştir.
