Students' understanding of the nature of science in the chemistry laboratory context
Research output: Contribution to conference › Poster › Research › peer-review
Thirty six undergraduate students doing a laboratory course in physical chemistry were assessed using Views of Nature of Science instrument and assessment criteria that categorise them in three levels of understanding. Results revealed that in general, the undergraduate students have transitional views of the nature of science, a level between naïve and informed views. I argue for incorporating the nature of science in undergraduate science curricula. Further substantiation involving an evidence based pedagogical intervention is needed.
