| 摘 要： | Understanding of NOS （nature of science） appears as a prerequisite of a scientifically literate person. Promoting adequate understanding of NOS in pre-service physics teachers is, therefore, an important task of science educators. Before doing that, science educators must have information concerning their pre-service teachers＇ conceptions of NOS. This study used the MOSQ （myths of science questionnaire） to explore 17 pre-service physics teachers＇ conceptions of NOS. Commonly, these pre-service teachers expressed misunderstandings about NOS with respect to： （1） the relationship between theory and law; （2） science as cumulative; （3） subjectivity in science; （4） the scientific method; and （5） the relationship between science and technology. Science educators should consider and utilize these common misunderstandings as a basis of curricular framework for further improving pre-service physics teachers＇ understanding of NOS.
