Contextualizing Nature of Science Instruction in Socioscientific Issues (2012, background): “This study adds support to previous studies suggesting that SSI are effective contexts for improving students’ NOS views (Khishfe & Lederman, 2006; Matkins & Bell, 2007; Walker & Zeidler, 2007) and that NOS instruction integrated in SSI is at least equally effective as NOS instruction delivered…”
Impacts of Contextual and Explicit Instruction on Preservice Elementary Teachers' Understandings of the Nature of Science. (2011, methodology): “This instrument was based on the Views of Nature of Science (Form B) questionnaire (Matkins & Bell, 2007).”
Explicit Nature of Science and Argumentation Instruction in the Context of Socioscientific Issues: An effect on student learning and transfer (2014, background): “…improvements in learners’ understandings of NOS as a result of an explicit approach (Abd-El-Khalick et al., 1998; Khishfe, 2002; Schwartz, & Lederman, 2002) and particularly in the context of socioscientific issues (Bentley & Fleury, 1998; Khishfe, 2006; Matkins & Bell, 2007; Sadler et al., 2002).”
