| description | The study therefore comprised three parts that were related to each of these aspects. In the first part of the study (i.e., NOS), the focus was on the students’ views of the nature of scientists’ work and the role/purpose of science and, more specifically, on the students’ levels of understanding about five key aspects of NOS identified by N.G. Lederman (2007). These five aspects include the tentative, empirically-based, theory-laden, socially- and culturally-embedded, and imaginative/creative aspects of NOS. |
