Abstract

This study is intended to explore the view of pre-service chemistry teachers (PCT) about the nature of science and technology (NOST). This study is the second part of the Model of Educational Reconstruction (MER). 63 of PCT in one of Chemistry Education Department in Central Indonesia participated to fill in the questionnaire about the view of NOST that has been modified from Tairab and Aikenhead. The PCT’s view described and categorized as Realistic, Has Merit, and Naïve. The results of the questionnaire suggest that many PCT were in Has Merit and few of them were in naïve. It means that many PCT’s views were not completely appropriate with the general view of science or technology but there were certain parts that fit the concepts and theories of science or technology. The results of this study will serve as a consideration in designing the instructional material at the third part of MER.
