The study presents the results from a project in which subjects related with history were taught to high school students using spherical videos, viewed by means of smartphones and Google Cardboard compatible HMDs. The target group was One hundred five 14-15 years old students, divided into three groups. The first used printed material, the second web pages, and the third the HMDs. The project lasted for 12 two-teaching-hours sessions (for for each tool), and data were collected using evaluation sheets and a questionnaire for recording student views and attitudes. The results suggested that students who used the HMDs outperformed students who used the other tools. All tools were considered equally effective and the participating students considered the web pages as easier to use. Then again, the combination of spherical videos, smartphones, and HMDs was more enjoyable and motivating. Though the findings highlighted the educational potential of spherical videos when viewed through HMDs, they also point to the need for finding innovative teaching methods/frameworks for better exploiting their potential.

In this study, the purpose is to describe advanced students’ motivational status to learn Nature of Science (NOS) and their understandings on NOS by using Ranking Questionnaire for “interest” and “importance” and modified version of Views on Nature of Science Questionnaire. The results indicated that the participants did not see NOS as an important subject compared to mathematics, science and social science subjects. Moreover, the participants were more interested in mathematics and science subjects than in NOS subject. The results on NOS understandings also showed that the participants were transitional in terms of “evidence and observation based science” and “subjectivity” while they had informed understandings on “place of imagination and creativity in science”. They were also naïve in terms of “existence of one method in science”, “no hierarchy between theory and law”, “tentativeness” and “difference between observation and inference”. The results explained an important motivational problem to implement any NOS teaching methods to change misunderstandings. Key words: advanced high school students, motivation, nature of science, school subjects.
