dc.description.abstractThe effective continuing professional development (CPD) programs primarily aim to have an impact on teachers’ knowledge bases, beliefs, and views and their classroom practices, which rationally lead most of the researchers to investigate those changes on teachers primarily. Although neglected, the interrelationship between CPD programs and students is considered complex, and CPDs ultimately aim to have an impact on students’ views, too. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to survey the changes of middle school students’ views of the nature of science (NOS) by providing a large-scale CPD to their teachers and, in other words, identify the impact of CPD on ultimate beneficiaries, namely students. In this study, 10 science teachers’ data and, in the first phase, 481 and, in the second phase, 422 students’ data and the changes in their NOS views were analyzed. Results showed that the students’ and teachers’ NOS views changed positively. For the impact of teachers on the students’ views, the teachers’ prior NOS knowledge, years of experience, and the number of implemented activities were found to be the influential factors for the transmission of NOS views. © 2019, Springer Nature B.V.en_US

dc.description.sponsorshipThe CPD designed for science teachers is a large-scale project that aims to improve views of NOS among middle school science teachers’ (those teaching students aged 10 to 14). Four research groups consisting of 14 scholars from three universities collaboratively conducted the project, which was supported by TUBITAK (the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) and MONE (the Turkish Ministry of National Education). The project lasted 30 months. The attendance of local middle school science teachers was voluntary. Ten middle school science teachers and their students (fifth, sixth, and seventh graders) participated the study. The participating teachers’ demographic features such as anonymous names, years of professional experience, and the number of activities they implemented are provided in Table . The teachers’ professional experience ranged from 2 to 17 years.en_US
