The purpose of this study was to analyze students' view of science based on understanding of the nature of science and affective factor on science of seventh-grade students during five months' science instruction. To achieve this purpose, we examined evaluation schemes by Roth et al. (1997). We obtained the following results through questionnaire-based data. 1) Students' understanding of the nature of science gradually formulated with a development of scientific knowledge. 2) There has been a negative shift in the students' affective factor on science. In conclusion, the evaluation scheme of this study can be identified as one useful method of analysis of the students' view of science.
