摘要:The study aims to investigate pre-service science and primary school students' views of nature of science and compare the views of them. The descriptive scanning method has been used in the study. Pre-service science teachers (PST) and pre-service primary teachers (PPT) who attend Süt.ü .mam University, Faculty of Education, Departments of Science and Primary School Education in the fall semester of 2015-2016 Academic Year have been participated in the study. Views of Nature of Science Questionnaire C Form (VNOS-C) has been administered to the participants. The participants responses to the questions in VNOS-C form has been analyzed and the responses have been grouped into 3 categorizes as "ell-informed", "moderate" and "naive". The responses to the each of the questions in the VNOS-C form have been analyzed and the results given in % frequency. The responses of the PSTs and PPTs have been compared. When the percentages of the "well-informed" responses of the participants for each of the questions in the VNOS-C form examined, it is clear that the percentages of the well-informed responses have been increased due to the increase of grade level. Findings have displayed that pre service science teachers have more adequate nature of science views than pre service primary school teachers. Especially, freshmen pre service teachers have naive views relating to the subject. But, the findings reported that most of the pre service teachers have naive views relating to the nature of science
