计划科学课程、开发科学课程或评估学习情况的教育工作者常常怀疑学生对所教内容的先入为主的观念。到目前为止，人们的注意力主要集中在传统的科学内容上（Driver, 1988; West and Pines, 1985）。然而，与科学本质相关的内容（例如，科学的认识论及其社会背景）正受到越来越多的关注，因为人们对通过科学-技术-社会（STS）方法教授科学或将科学与科学的历史和哲学相结合进行教学感兴趣（Bybee, 1987; Hodson, 1988; Posner and Strike, 1989; Gruender and Tobin, 1991）；高中生对认识论和科学社会学的先入之见是什么？这个问题在来自同一研究的两篇相关文章中得到了解决。这第一篇文章描述了一种新的研究工具的发展，该工具可以监测学生对广泛的STS主题的看法，即科学-技术-社会观点（VOSTS）。第二篇文章（Ryan和Aikenhead，出版中）报道了这个工具如何阐明高中生对与科学认识论相关的几个主题的看法。
Educators who plan science lessons, who develop science curricula, or who evaluate learning, often wonder about students' preconceptions of the material to be taught. Until now, attention has mainly focused on traditional science content (Driver, 1988; West and Pines, 1985). However, content related to the nature of science (for example, science's epistemology and its social context) is receiving increased attention because of interest in teaching science through a science-technology-society (STS) approach or teaching science in concert with the history and philosophy of science (Bybee, 1987; Hodson, 1988; Posner and Strike, 1989; Gruender and Tobin, 1991); What are high school students' preconceptions concerning the epistemology and sociology of science? This question is addressed in two related articles that stem from the same research study. This first article describes the development of a new research instrument that monitors students' views on a broad range of STS topics, Views on Science-Technology-Society (VOSTS). The second article (Ryan and Aikenhead, in press) reports on how this instrument illuminates high school students' views on several topics associated with the epistemology of science.
