This paper describes a study of progression of young people's understandings of 'the nature of science' from age 9 to age 16. The paper aims to problematise the notion of 'progression in learning', and to describe the methodology used in the study in the context of a range of possible methodologies for studying progression in learning science. Findings relating to young peoples' characterisations of the nature of scientific knowledge and empirical enquiry are presented, and age-related trends are discussed. A framework for considering students' reasoning about aspects of 'the nature of science' is proposed. Finally, uses and limitations in the use of data from cross-sectional studies on progression are considered. |
