Abstract

Science education should include approaches that will create individuals’ and society’s sub-structure of the science. For this purpose, an analysis has been made by taking the philosophy, psychology and sociology of science into account. . According to this analysis, these disciplines, changing from regular structures to chaotic constructions, suggest that science education must evolve from the presentation of regular structures to the presentation of more complex structures. Explaining simpler and more organized things called "science education" does not contribute to the growth of new scientists

Keywords
