Department of Physics Education, Chonnam National University, Gwangju 500-757 (Received 13 April 2011 : accepted 1 June 2011)
The purpose of the present study was to determine the change in students’ understanding of the nature of science and the relation between the understanding of the nature of science and
-549-
science learning. To do this, we selected 35 freshmen from teacherîs college. We used the six SNST (Statements describing the nature of scientific thinking) about the nature of induction, deduction and abduction. To the subjects, we applied an activity program developed according to the SNST to help them understand the nature of science and how the nature of science can be useful for science learning. We asked the subjects to complete a questionnaire consisting of 5 Likert scales and describing each SNST and the relation between understanding the philosophy of science and science learning before and after each activity. According to results, except for SNST 2, significant differences in the understanding of the nature of science before the activity and that after the activity were noted (p < .01). The effect size was 1.00. Also significant differences in understanding hour the nature of science can be useful for science learning before the activity and that after the activity were observed (p < .01). The effect size was 0.62. From these results, we can conclude that the developed activity programs are useful for students’ understanding of the nature of science and its usefulness for science learning.

Table 1. Statement describing the Nature of scientific thinking.
Scientific Thinking Statement describing the Nature of scientific thinking (SNST) Code Inductive thinking is used to infer general law from limited numbers of observations. SNST 1 induction
Scientific law via inductive thinking cannot be guaranteed the truth of scientific knowledge. SNST 2 Scientific explanation is the process of drawing a deductive conclusion through premises
deduction consisting of general law and initial conditions. SNST 3 Deductive thinking is used to predict an experimental result based on a hypothesis. SNST 4 Abductive thinking is used to generate or invent a new scientific hypothesis to explain
abduction new phenomena. SNST 5
Abductive thinking involves similarity-based reasoning between the background knowledge
and new phenomena to be explained. SNST 6
