Identifying pre-service chemistry teachers’ view of the nature of science and technology’ for ionic liquids as cellulose solvent

Abstract

This research aims to indentify the views of pre-service chemistry teachers about the nature of science and technology. This research was conducted using descriptive methods with participants consisting of 28 students of the Universitas Lampung. Data was collected using a view of the nature of science and technology (VNOST) questionnaire consisting of 4 aspects: Definition of science and technology, Epistemology of science, Sociology of Internal science, and external sociology of science. The results of this study indicate that pre-service teachers define science as a concept and technology as a science application. In the epistemology of science, they view scientific models as genuine objects and there are many ways to calcify. In internal science sociology, scientific decisions are based on previous theories and technological decisions based on their impact on society. For external sociology of science, pre-service teachers who agree with science-technology-society influence and influence each other. In general, the results also revealed that most of them had a good view. The results of this research will be made didactic design in the context of ionic liquids as cellulose solvents to improve the ability of VNOST pre-service chemistry teacher.
