Analysis of Articles on the Nature of Science between 2015 and 2022
Özet
It is evident that knowing the nature of science is a requirement for “science education”, which serves as the basis of conscious citizenship. For this reason, articles concerning the nature of science that were published in the Web of Science and EBSCOhost database between 2015 and 2022 were examined in this study in order to establish a broad framework and develop a research road map. A qualitative design approach and a descriptive review method were used. The keywords "Nature of Science (NoS) and Science Education" and "Teaching of Nature of Science (NoS) and Science Education" were used. The majority of the 107 articles on the nature of science that have been examined preferred qualitative research designs, and "Science & Education" is the publication that has published the most articles on the subject in 2017-2018-2020, pre-service teachers were mostly preferred as the sample group, it was applied to groups of “21-50” people as the sample group, open reflective approach was preferred as the teaching approach, the most commonly used method-technique was “discussion”, the activities used in the articles were generally standard, semi-structured interview form was preferred as the evaluation tool and “VNOS-C” was deployed as the questionnaire. Studies may be conducted within the boundaries of further lectures on the topic and internationally published theses. © 2024, Ozgen Korkmaz. All rights reserved.
