Seven aspects of NOS were integrated in chemistry content in learning units titled “Matter and Its Composition” and “Study of Gas Laws” for a time span of six weeks in a ninth-grade class. A qualitative approach included the use of a questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and review of students’ journals and assignments. Data were analysed with patterns and themes established and students’ views of NOS in pre-instruction and post-instruction categorized as naA¯ve, transitional or informed.

Seven aspects of NOS were integrated into the chemistry content in two learning units titled “matter and its composition” and “study of gas laws” over a time span of 6 weeks in a 9th Grade class. This study employed mixed method approaches which included the use of a questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and a review of students’ journals, and assignments. Data were analyzed for established patterns and themes. Students’ views of the NOS in pre-instruction and post-instruction were categorized as naïve, transitional, or informed. The results indicated that at the end of the intervention, students’ views of the NOS had improved. It was seen that NOS-specific pedagogical knowledge and subject knowledge played an important role in the teacher’s ability to enhance students’ views of the NOS.
