Özet
The study aimed to explore the development of third graders' nature of science views by using children's literature. The participants of the study were 18 third graders (12 F, 6 M) aged 8-9 years old. The method of the study was a basic interpretive qualitative study and data were collected by means of open-ended questionnaires, (Views of Nature of scientific views, VNOS-D) reflective journals, and semi-structured interviews. The implementation of the study was taken for seven weeks and students enrolled in explicit- reflective nature of science activities coupled with children’s literature highlighting stories including nature of science. The results of the study showed that primary students held misconceptions regarding of nature of science mostly on the aspects of the difference between observation and inference, the tentative nature of scientific knowledge, the subjective nature of scientific knowledge, and scientific models. Results of the study revealed that students improved their nature of science views substantially. The majority of the nature of science aspects have been improved to informed views, only the views on scientific models improved to adequate views after the intervention. Our research findings have claimed that storytelling could be a strong pedagogical tool in developing children’s nature of science views.
