Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the views of 10thgrade students on the nature of science (NOS) in Turkey. A total of 1994 high school students (872 girls, 1121 boys) from 21 different cities of seven geographical regions in Turkey participated in the study. Data were collected utilizing modified version of Views on Science-Technology-Society (VOSTS) questionnaire. The results of the study revealed the misconceptions of students on the NOS. The results of this study also indicated that the participants held traditional views on the definition of the science, fundamental assumptions of science, the characteristics of scientist and the effects of society on science and technology. In addition, there were significant differences in students’ views on the NOS by region, school types and gender.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’deki lise 10. sınıf öğrencilerinin bilimin doğası hakkında bakış açılarını araştırmaktır. Araştırmaya Türkiye’nin yedi coğrafik bölgesinden seçilen 21 ilden toplam 1994 öğrenci (872 kız, 1121 erkek) katılmıştır. Katılımcıların “bilimin doğası” hakkındaki görüşlerini değerlendirmek için “Bilimin Doğası Hakkındaki Görüşler” (VOSTS) anketinden 6 soru bu çalışma için seçilerek, Türkçe’ye adapte edilmiş ve kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, öğrencilerin bilimin doğası konusunda birçok kavram yanılgısına sahip olduklarını göstermiştir. Katılımcıların bilimin tanımı, bilim insanlarının özellikleri, bilimin temel varsayımları hakkında geleneksel görüşlere sahip oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca öğrencilerin bilimin doğası hakkındaki görüşlerinin cinsiyet, okul tipleri ve bulundukları bölgelere göre gözlenen farkın anlamlı olduğu bulunmuştur.
