| dc.description.abstract | One of the main aims of science education is to bring students to the level of scientific literates. In the research, totally 248 students including 124 from Physics Education Department of Education Faculty and 124 from Physics Department of Science Faculty were participated. It was aimed to determine the comprehension levels of students about the nature of science in terms of their faculty, class and gender. In this research, 'Scale for Nature of Scientific Information' developed by Rubba was used. This scale constitutes of 48 statements in 5 optional Likert type. In each sub-scale, there are 8 statements which include 4 positive and 4 negative ones. Data analysis were carried out with independent t test a done-directional variance analysis by using SPSS 11 packaged software. According to the results of analysis, there was a difference in favor of Education Faculty students about being severe in explanations and being testable dimension of the scale while there was no significant difference in other dimensions. While there was a difference in favor of males about creative dimension of the scale and in favor of females about being connective dimension, there was no significant difference about other dimensions in terms of genders. When scientific manners of students were compared in terms of their class levels, there was a significant difference just in moral value dimension of the scale. © IDOSI Publications, 2011. | en_US |
