This study investigates the effect of instructional program using Nott & Wellington`s your nature of science profile to facilitate the understanding about the nature of science for elementary preservice teachers. To do this, this study used posttest only control group design. The students in control group studied the topic by instructional program using textbook and reference book. Experimental group studied by instructional program: (1) evaluating personally one`s understanding of the nature of science using Nott and Wellington`s your nature of science profile; (2) studying the way of understanding the nature of science focusing five dimensions presented in it: (3) knowing other`s understanding the nature of science; (4) discussing and evaluating reflectively the various aspect about it. Because the true understanding about the nature of science is not only to know about the method of science but also to know the target of science, We planned to evaluate the effect of instruction by such dichotomous way as evaluating simultaneously the understanding about the method of science and the target of science. Therefore the questionnaire to evaluate the effect of instruction consisted two pairs of open-ended questions: first pair is consisted of questions for the representation and judgement of scientific theory, second pair is consisted of questions for components and sources of scientific manipulation of the structure of science. The results of questionnaires by experimental group(n=75) and control group(n=77) are as follows: (1) Analysing responses about first pair of questions in dichotomous way, we identified four different pattems in students` understanding about scientific theory. And the instructional program using Nott & Wellington`s your nature of science profile is not significantly effective in the distribution of patterns of understanding about scientific theory, but effective in driving out scientifically valid understanding, naturalistic realism, about scientific theory from the students having realistic aspect in representation of scientific theory; (2) Analysing responses about second pair of questions in dichotomous way, we identified five different patterns in students`s understanding about structure of science. And the instructional program using Nott & Wellington`s your nature of science profile is significantly effective in the distribution of patterns of understanding about structure of science, and effective in driving out scientifically valid understanding, dualistic-circular view or dualistic-circular view, about structure of science from the students having dualistic or dualistic aspect in components of structure of science.
