The paper presents an empirical study on university students’ perceptions of nature of science (NOS). NOS is framed in terms of the cognitive, epistemic, and social-institutional systems of science based on the Family Resemblance Approach (FRA) (Erduran and Dagher 2014 ; Irzik and Nola 2014 ; Irzik and Nola, SCED 20:591–607, 2011 ). FRA includes the following categories: aims and values of science, scientific practices, scientific methods, scientific knowledge, and social-institutional aspects of science. A study was conducted with 15 university students from science and non-science majors at a public university in Turkey. Individual interviews were conducted, and qualitative data analysis was carried out. The educational adaptation of FRA was previously referred to as RFN (or the Reconceptualised FRA to NOS) (Kaya and Erduran, SCED, 25(9–10):1115–1133, 2016 ). In this study, categories of RFN were identified in students’ responses. The results show that non-science majors (e.g., philosophy, sociology) have an enhanced perception of NOS in comparison to science majors (e.g., physics, computer engineering). It is also observed that university students were not explicitly aware of different aspects of NOS and their perceptions do not represent a holistic account. The study suggests that RFN can be used as a framework to explore university students’ perceptions of NOS and their perceptions of NOS are linked to their domain-specific educational background.

大学生如何感知科学的本质?

本文提出了一项关于大学生对科学本质(NOS)认知的实证研究。NOS 是根据基于家庭相似性方法 (FRA) 的科学的认知、认知和社会制度系统构建的(Erduran 和 Dagher 2014;Irzik 和 Nola 2014;Irzik 和 Nola,SCED 20:591-607,2011 )。FRA 包括以下类别:科学的目标和价值、科学实践、科学方法、科学知识和科学的社会制度方面。对土耳其一所公立大学的 15 名科学和非科学专业的大学生进行了一项研究。进行了个人访谈,并进行了定性数据分析。FRA 的教育适应以前被称为 RFN(或重新概念化的 FRA 到 NOS)(Kaya 和 Erduran,SCED,25(9-10):1115-1133,2016 年)。在这项研究中,在学生的回答中确定了 RFN 的类别。结果表明,与科学专业(例如物理学、计算机工程)相比,非科学专业(例如哲学、社会学)对 NOS 的感知增强。还观察到大学生并没有明确意识到 NOS 的不同方面,他们的看法并不代表一个整体。该研究表明,RFN 可以作为一个框架来探索大学生对 NOS 的看法,他们对 NOS 的看法与他们特定领域的教育背景有关。物理学、计算机工程)。还观察到大学生并没有明确意识到 NOS 的不同方面,他们的看法并不代表一个整体。该研究表明,RFN 可以作为一个框架来探索大学生对 NOS 的看法,他们对 NOS 的看法与他们特定领域的教育背景有关。物理学、计算机工程)。还观察到大学生并没有明确意识到 NOS 的不同方面,他们的看法并不代表一个整体。该研究表明,RFN 可以作为一个框架来探索大学生对 NOS 的看法,他们对 NOS 的看法与他们特定领域的教育背景有关。
