The Views of high school students’ on the scientific modeling

The general aim of modeling is to test an idea- represented as a system of related processes, events, or structuresagainst observations in the real world. The scientific modeling is different from the model space craft or the various models (clothes, cars, etc.) on the magazines. The model space crafts are done to reduce the size of the object that we can see to a smaller size which can be worked on better. The purpose of using such models is rather than explaining an event, to reproduce by copying as in the model space craft example or to advertise by the models on the magazines. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to do validity and reliability study of “The Role of the Scientific Models Scale” according to the high school students level and whose reliability study was done in order to determine the views of the high school students towards scientific modeling.
