Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of both scientific research method course and examining Master and Doctoral dissertation on pre-service primary school teachers’ scientific epistemological beliefs. The sample of the study consisted of 99 pre-service primary school teachers from and education faculty in the Aegean Region of Turkey. The data were obtained from a likert-type questionnaire “Scientific Epistemological Beliefs” designed by Pomeroy (1993) and translated into Turkish language by Deryakulu and Bıkmaz (2003). The questionnaire was used as pre-and-post tests in the study that took place in 14 weeks. It was administered to the participants by the researchers before and after the course during a single class period. In the analysis of the quantitative data, the mean, the paired-sample t-test and ANCOVA with α = .05 were employed. The results of the study show that both scientific research method course and examining master and doctoral dissertation were effective to change the pre-service primary school teachers’ scientific epistemological beliefs, but this effect was not strong.
