dc.description.abstractThe aim of this research, which was conducted through the use of Q methodology, was to examine eighth grade students' perspectives on power plants (PPs). Suggesting that variables can be replaced by individuals in factor analysis and thus interpersonal factor analysis can be done, Q methodology is a method that aims to examine individuals' self -referenced perspectives by revealing the differences and commonalities of these perspectives; that is, where they are positioned relative to each other in a holistic structure. In this research, a total of 35 Q -statements were presented to a number of 19 eight -grade students, who were attending to a public middle school and were voluntarily participated in the study. Students' Q -sorts resulted in a two -factor solution, meaning that two perspectives emerged towards PPs. The perspectives were named as economy -oriented and science and technology -oriented. Students holding the economy -oriented perspective pointed out to the positive impact of PPs on economy, while others holding the science and technology -oriented perspective specified the contribution of PPs to scientific and technological development.
