                            <p>Purpose: In science education, it is among the most important purposes that students become primarily scientific literate individuals. Scientific literacy is associated with deep understanding of “Nature of Science [NOS] and scientific inquiry processes. At this point, teachers&#039; adequate level content knowledge about the nature of science gain importance because of responsibility of their students&#039; getting contemporary understanding of the nature of science. In this study, it is aimed to determine and compare the status of pre-service science teachers and Science and Technology teachers&#039; content knowledge about the nature of science.Method: This study is a descriptive model in which qualitative research techniques are used. In 2009-2010 education year, 89 pre-service teachers who are studying in 4th class in one of the leading universities in science education in Turkey and 64 Science and Technology teachers who are working in small city in Turkey participated in the study. The situation of the knowledge of the participants about the nature of science is determined using “Views about Nature of Science (BDYG) questionnaire which is adapted to Turkish from “VOSTS (Views on Science-Technology-Society). In order to analyze the answers of participants to the questions in BDYG questionnaire, every questionnaire item placed under every question is encoded by 10 field experts as &quot;Realistic &quot;, &quot;Has Merit&quot; and &quot;Naive &quot;. After every item that pre-service and in-service science teachers chose in BDYG questionnaire is analyzed, frequencies and percentages for each item are calculated in accordance with the descriptive analysis.Results and Suggestion: According to the results of the analysis, pre-service science and in-service teachers conducted in research are found to have a certain level of content knowledge about the nature of science. However, that level of knowledge they have about the nature of science does not sufficiently represent a contemporary vision at an adequate level. Moreover, as one of the most important results of the research, widespread realistic and naive views of the in-service teachers resulted from BDYG questionnaire are quite parallel with pre-service teachers in same categories. The realistic views that participants have in high percentage and that are parallel to each other are on &quot;tentativeness of scientific knowledge&quot;, &quot;mistakes in scientific studies, “precision and uncertainty in scientific knowledge, “influence of society on scientist and “defining science. Besides, both participant groups have same level naive views on “characteristics of hypothesis, theories and laws, “the epistemological status of laws, hypotheses and theories and “the nature of scientific models issues. In this context, it is thought that both groups should take field education about nature of science. This education, for pre-service science teachers, can be through lessons related to science and nature of science which are given in their university education and for in service teachers, through in-service education and seminars from which every teacher can get benefit.Content knowledge about the nature of science, Pre-service science teacher, Science and Technology teacher</p></trans-abstract>

Bu amaçla, aynı branşta görev yapan öğretmenler ve eğitim almakta olan öğretmen adaylarının bilimin doğası konusundaki alan bilgilerinin durumu ve eğer varsa yetersiz ve/veya naif görüşlerinin hangi konularda benzerlik ve farklılık gösterdiği çözümlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırmaya 2009-2010 öğretim yılında Gazi Üniversitesi Fen Bilgisi Öğretmenliği Anabilim Dalı&#039;na bağlı olarak 4. sınıfta eğitim gören 89 öğretmen adayı ve Burdur İli&#039;nde görev yapmakta olan 64 Fen ve Teknoloji öğretmeni katılmıştır. Katılımcıların bilimin doğası konusundaki alan bilgileri “Bilimin Doğasına Yönelik Görüşler (BDYG)â€? anketi kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada uygulanan anket maddelerinin uzmanlar tarafından kodlanması, verilerin elde edilmesi ve değerlendirmesi süreçleri betimsel araştırmaya uygun olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Uzman kodlamalarına göre çözümlenen katılımcı cevapları, frekans ve yüzde değerleri ile verilmiş bu bağlamda öğretmen adaylarının ve öğretmenlerin bilimin doğası konusundaki alan bilgileri karşılaştırılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre; genel olarak katılımcıların bilimin doğası konusunda yeterli çağdaş görüşe sahip olmamakla birlikte yüksek sayılabilecek bir oranda naif görüşleri benimsedikleri belirlenmiştir. Bunun yanında Fen Bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının ve Fen ve Teknoloji öğretmenlerinin BDYG anket sonuçlarında ortaya çıkan yaygın olarak sahip oldukları gerçekçi ve naif görüşlerinin de paralel olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu bağlamda katılımcıların; “Bilimi tanımlamaâ€? “Bilimsel bilginin değişebilirliğiâ€?, “Bilimsel çalışmalarda yapılan hatalarâ€?, “Bilimsel bilginin kesinliği ve muhtemelliğiâ€? ve “Toplumun bilim insanları üzerine etkisiâ€? gibi konularda çağdaş görüşe sahip oldukları sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ancak katılımcıların büyük bir çoğunluğunun “hipotez, teori ve kanunlarâ€? kategorisine ait olan “hipotezlerin teorilere, teorilerin de kanunlara dönüştüğünüâ€? savunan naif görüşe katıldıkları görülmüştür. Yine “teorilerin özellikleriâ€?, “kanun, hipotez ve teorilerin epistemolojik durumlarıâ€? ve “bilimsel modellerin doğasıâ€? konularında da yaygın olarak naif görüşe sahip oldukları sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu bakımdan her iki grubun da bilimin doğası konusunda alan eğitimi almaları gerektiği düşünülmektedir. Bu eğitim Fen Bilgisi öğretmen adayları açısından üniversitede kendilerine verilen bilimi ve bilimin doğasını ilgilendiren dersler yoluyla; Fen ve Teknoloji öğretmenleri açısından ise her öğretmenin yararlanabileceği hizmet içi eğitim ve seminerler yoluyla gerçekleştirilebilir.</p></abstract>
