Araştırmanınsonuçlarının genel olarak değerlendirmek gerekirse, fen bilgisi ve sosyal bilgiler derslerinin ortakkonularından “bilim” konusu ifade edilmiş, iki branşın öğretmenlerinin bilim konusununöğretimine yönelik ortak olarak herhangi bir çalışma ve ortak bir toplantı gerçekleştirmedikleribelirlenmiştir. Buna rağmen öğrencilerin bilim konusuna yönelik dersler arası ilişkilendirmeyapabildikleri, öğretmenlerin ise bilim konusunun öğretilmesine dair iki branşa da hizmetedebilecek şekilde ortak geziler planlayabildikleri ancak bunların birtakım imkânsızlıklar nedeniylegerçekleştirilemediği belirlenmiştir.
