摘要:This study aims to find out the attitude levels of the fourth grade primary school students towards science and to examine
these attitudes according to some variables. The study is designed in descriptive survey model to reveal the present situation. The
data were collected through Attitude towards Science Scale, a three-point Likert scale developed by the researchers. A total of 562
students participated in the study. The findings of the study demonstrate that the students' attitudes towards science, which are
based on two dimensions including scientific discovery and scientific curiosity, are positive. The students' attitudes towards science
do not differ statistically according to their gender. However, their attitudes towards science show statistically significant differences
according to whether the students follow a scientific magazine or not, whether they study at a public or private school, whether their
mothers are a teacher or not and the educational level of their parents. It is believed that the results will contribute to raising
generations with positive attitudes towards science.
