EPISTEMIOLOGIC BELIEVES AND THEIR EFFECTS ON PUPILS SCIENCE EDUCATION

 Fulya ÖZTAŞ

There are an accumulating pile of evidences that the previously epistemological believes of students’ mostly may led to poor understanding nature of science. It is well known that during shaping individuals’ epistemological believes the inquiry take part as an essential factor. The inquiry included steps such as questioning, making strategies in order to find out answers, their analysis and making comment about them. It is generally accepted that the inquiry and find out answers are the main subject of epistemology. In this literature review I tried to find out how students’ present epistemological believes effects their understanding nature of science. It has been recommended that in order to make more understandable nature of science for students, the basic principles of epistemology suggested by Lederman and others should be modified according to students’ inquiry.

Key Words: epistemology, science education, inquiry, nature of science
