Abstract

This research aimed to determine and develop 8 grade students’ views on the demarcation between science and pseudoscience. In this context, the study was designed with convergent parallel design which is a mixed research method. The study group for the quantitative dimension was composed of 32 8th graders in a secondary school in Akdeniz district of Mersin province. The study group for the qualitative dimension consisted of six students selected from among these 32 students by purposeful sampling method. As data collection tools, Pseudoscience Belief Scale which consisted of 21 questions and a semistructured interview form composed of nine questions were used. During the data analysis, statistical calculations were done by using the SPSS package program for the quantitative dimension. Content analysis method was used to categorize qualitative as codes and themes. Based on the study results, it was observed that the pseudoscientific beliefs were not based on gender and it was found that students’ pseudoscientific beliefs decreased with the implementation in which the argumentation method was

学生对科学与伪科学界限的认识发展
本研究旨在确定和发展8年级学生对科学与伪科学的划分的看法。在此背景下,本研究采用了收敛并行设计,这是一种混合研究方法。定量维度的研究小组由梅尔辛省阿克德尼兹区一所中学的32名八年级学生组成。定性维度的研究组由6名学生组成,他们通过有目的的抽样方法从这32名学生中选出。作为数据收集工具,使用了由21个问题组成的伪科学信念量表和由9个问题组成半结构访谈表。在数据分析过程中,使用SPSS软件包对定量维度进行统计计算。采用内容分析法将定性分类为代码和主题。根据研究结果,观察到伪科学信念不是基于性别的,并且发现学生的伪科学信念随着论证方法的实施而减少
