Abstract
This research is conducted to explore the pre-service teachers’ views of science-technology-society (STS) issues and to investigate the influence of a History of Science (HOS) course on these views. The influence of teaching STS issues through different instructional approaches on the pre-service teachers’ views was also examined. Sample is consisted of 93 pre-service teachers. 11 adapted items of Views of Science-Technology-Society (VOSTS) questionnaire (Aikenhead, Ryan & Fleming, 1989) were administered. Descriptive and inferential statistics (Wilcoxon Sign-Test) were used to examine and compare pre-service teachers’ pre- and post-test responses. Findings revealed that the HOS course and the instructional approach did not have significant influences on the pre-service teachers’ STS views. Key words: science-technology-society, pre-service teachers, history of science, views of science-technology-society questionnaire.
