- Abstract
This study aims to provide a profile of students’ views on the nature of Science and Technology or VNOST as a basis for the development of didactic designs that can teach aspects of technology in high school chemistry learning. This study involved 196 students who were randomly selected from grades XI from one of the secondary schools in Bandung. The modified VNOST questionnaire was used as a research instrument consisting of four aspects, namely: 1) the view of science, the purpose of science, the purpose of scientific research, 2) the view of technology, 3) the view of scientific knowledge and scientific theory, and 4) the view of the relationship between science, technology, and society. Each statement in the questionnaire was classified as “Realist”, “Has Merit”, and “Naïve”. The data obtained were analyzed on each item using a frequency distribution to the students’ VNOST group. “Realist” VNOST is used as a good indicator of VNOST views. The results revealed that most students have VNOST at the “Has Merit” level, which means that students’ views on the nature of science and technology are still lacking and need to be improved. For this reason, educators need to integrate science and technology in science learning in schools.
