Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate scientific epistemological predictors of
science achievement of middle school students. In line with this purpose correlational
research method was utilized. The study involved 100 fifth, sixth and eighth grade
middle school students. The data of the study was collected by “Science Achievement
Test” and “Scientific Epistemological Beliefs Scale”. For analysis of the data, linear
regression technique was used. The findings showed that the achievement level of the
students was low while they had advanced epistemological beliefs. As another finding
parallel to this conflict, scientific epistemological beliefs of the students did not predict
significantly science achievement. In conclusion, it was observed that scientific
epistemological beliefs and science achievement of the students were not associated.
