The paper presents a study about pre-service science teachers’ perceptions of the Nature of Science (NOS). Although there is a substantial amount of research on NOS in science teacher education, international comparative accounts particularly of in-depth qualitative data emerging from group discussions are fairly minimal. The primary aim of the research was to determine the changes of pre-service science teachers’ NOS perceptions following group discussions in two different national contexts: Turkey and England. Two groups of pre-service teachers from Turkey were contrasted with two groups of pre-service teachers from England. The group discussions were structured with a set of steps. In the first step, the participants were asked to reflect about NOS and record their key ideas on sticky notes. Subsequently, they were presented with a visual framework of NOS, and they were asked to situate their own ideas from the sticky notes in this image. Verbal data from group discussions were investigated by qualitative methodology using thematic analysis. The findings suggest that both groups of pre-service teachers initially focused on epistemic-cognitive aspects of NOS but their ideas became more nuanced in providing some examples about social and institutional dimensions of NOS following the introduction of the NOS image. The study contributes to the understanding of how pre-service teachers view NOS and illustrates how NOS can potentially be incorporated into group discussions in science teacher education.

小组讨论中出现的对科学本质的看法:来自土耳其和英国的职前教师的比较说明

该论文提出了一项关于职前科学教师对科学本质(NOS)的看法的研究。尽管对科学教师教育中的 NOS 进行了大量研究,但国际比较帐户,特别是小组讨论中出现的深入定性数据的比较少。该研究的主要目的是在两个不同的国家背景下进行小组讨论后确定职前科学教师对 NOS 看法的变化:土耳其和英国。两组来自土耳其的职前教师与两组来自英国的职前教师进行了对比。小组讨论由一系列步骤组成。第一步,参与者被要求反思 NOS 并将他们的关键想法记录在便签上。随后,向他们展示了 NOS 的视觉框架,并要求他们从这张图片中的便签中找出自己的想法。来自小组讨论的口头数据通过使用主题分析的定性方法进行调查。研究结果表明,两组职前教师最初都关注 NOS 的认知-认知方面,但在引入 NOS 形象后,他们的想法在提供一些关于 NOS 的社会和制度维度的例子方面变得更加细致入微。该研究有助于了解职前教师如何看待 NOS,并说明 NOS 如何可能被纳入科学教师教育的小组讨论中。来自小组讨论的口头数据通过使用主题分析的定性方法进行调查。研究结果表明,两组职前教师最初都关注 NOS 的认知-认知方面,但在引入 NOS 形象后,他们的想法在提供一些关于 NOS 的社会和制度维度的例子方面变得更加细致入微。该研究有助于了解职前教师如何看待 NOS,并说明 NOS 如何可能被纳入科学教师教育的小组讨论中。来自小组讨论的口头数据通过使用主题分析的定性方法进行调查。研究结果表明,两组职前教师最初都关注 NOS 的认知-认知方面,但在引入 NOS 形象后,他们的想法在提供一些关于 NOS 的社会和制度维度的例子方面变得更加细致入微。该研究有助于了解职前教师如何看待 NOS,并说明 NOS 如何可能被纳入科学教师教育的小组讨论中。研究结果表明,两组职前教师最初都关注 NOS 的认知-认知方面,但在引入 NOS 形象后,他们的想法在提供一些关于 NOS 的社会和制度维度的例子方面变得更加细致入微。该研究有助于了解职前教师如何看待 NOS,并说明 NOS 如何可能被纳入科学教师教育的小组讨论中。研究结果表明,两组职前教师最初都关注 NOS 的认知-认知方面,但在引入 NOS 形象后,他们的想法在提供一些关于 NOS 的社会和制度维度的例子方面变得更加细致入微。该研究有助于了解职前教师如何看待 NOS,并说明 NOS 如何可能被纳入科学教师教育的小组讨论中。
