Ninth grade students' understanding of the nature of scientific knowledge

Bu çalışmanın amacı lise 1 öğrencilerinin bilimsel bilginin doğasını nasıl algıladıklarını ve bu bilginin cinsiyete ve okul türüne bağlı olarak değişip değişmediğini saptamaktır. Araştırmaya dört farklı okul türünden (devlet lisesi, anadolu lisesi, meslek lisesi ve süper lise) 575 öğrenci katılmıştır. Veriler “Bilimsel Bilginin Doğası Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplanmış ve çoklu varyans analizi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar lise 1 öğrencilerinin bilimsel bilginin doğasını algılamasının cinsiyete ve okul türüne bağlı olarak değiştiğini göstermiştir. Ayrıca katılımcıların büyük bir kısmının bilimsel bilginin doğası hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmadığı saptanmıştır

Anahtar Kelimeler:

bilimsel bilgi, bilimin doğası, okul türleri, cinsiyet
