Paradigm Changes about Nature of Science and New Teaching Aproaches

Year 2008, Volume: 28 Issue: 2, 221 - 235, 01.06.2008

Abstract

Understandings about nature of science (NOS) are essential and critical components of scientific literacy which is the focus of science curriculums of many countries including Turkey. Paradigm changes about science and NOS have been occurred especially in the last 50 years and many studies have focused on improving students\' and teachers\' understandings about NOS. This paper is an interpretive review of NOS understandings that reflect paradigm changes and new teaching approaches. Based on literature review and authors\' experiences it is argued that explicit-reflective scientific argumentation and explicit-reflective inquiry strategies are most favorable strategies for teaching new NOS understandings.

Abstract

Türkiye dahil pek çok ülkenin fen müfredatlarının odaklandığı bilim okuryazarlığının temel ve kritik bir bileşeni bilimin doğası ile ilgili anlayışlardır. Özellikle son 50 yılda bilim ve bilimin doğası ile ilgili paradigma değişimleri yaşanmış ve birçok çalışma öğrenci ve öğretmenlerin bilimin doğası hakkındaki yeni anlayışları kazanmasına odaklanmıştır. Bu makale yaşanan paradigma değişimlerini yansıtan bilimin doğası anlayışlarını ve bu anlayışların öğretimi ile ilgili yaklaşımları yorumsal bir bakış açısıyla ortaya koyan bir derleme çalışmasıdır. Literatür incelemesi ve yazarların deneyimlerine dayanarak bilimin doğası hakkındaki yeni anlayışların öğretimi için en uygun stratejilerin açık-düşündürücü bilimsel argümantasyon ve açık-düşündürücü sorgulayıcı-araştırma stratejileri olabileceği önUnderstandings about nature of science (NOS) are essential and critical components of scientific literacy which is the focus of science curriculums of many countries including Turkey. Paradigm changes about science and NOS have been occurred especially in the last 50 years and many studies have focused on improving students\' and teachers\' understandings about NOS. This paper is an interpretive review of NOS understandings that reflect paradigm changes and new teaching approaches. Based on literature review and authors\' experiences it is argued that explicit-reflective scientific argumentation and explicit-reflective inquiry strategies are most favorable strategies for teaching new NOS understandings.
