Özet

In this study, high school students' thoughts about science which takes part in different programme genres are examined. For determining these programme genres, a questionnaire was applied at schools and the programmes that include much more science according to them were asked. Qualitative methods were used in this study which was applied to 70 science students. Four programme cross-sections that include two news, a documentary and a film were used in this study. Open-ended questionnaires about the current programmes were used for gathering students' opinions. As a result of this study, it was found that students were generally affected by television programmes and particularly some programmes were more convincing. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
