Enhancing philosophical thinking among student-teachers

The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts, as to discover new ways of thinking about them.

Sir William Bragg (1862–1942)

For the studies in science education and scientific methods, philosophical thinking for science may function as a logical study and it leads to a unification of the sciences which has been an aim of all synthetic philosophical systems. It integrates to sciences by discovering interrelations of structure and terms among sciences.

In this context, this research paper focuses on student-teachers' perceptions about philosophical ideas about concept of science. These perceptions were collected in a written form before and after their philosophical orientation to science. The responses were qualitatively analyzed and finally findings and recommendations leads to more effective ways of teaching learning science.
