Makale Özeti:

The study reports on an investigation about the impact of science-technology-society (STS) instruction on
middle school student understanding of the nature of science (NOS) and attitudes toward science compared to
students taught by the same teacher using traditional textbook-oriented instruction. Eight lead teachers used STS
instruction an attempt to improve student understanding of NOS concepts. The major findings of the study
suggest that students experiencing STS instruction improve their understanding of the nature of science and
attitudes toward science significantly more than do students who were instructed with traditional instruction.
Analysis of the data indicates that students in STS classrooms attain more positive changes in their views about
the NOS. Specifically, the STS students displayed powerful changes in their understanding of the ways in
scientific theories and the scientist. Implications for improving teacher professional development programs are
suggested.
