Abstract: Throughout their college career, students take many courses that shape their life. The course "The Meaning and Nature of Science" taught students, at Appalachian State University, the meaning and essence of the nature of science (NOS). Learning the NOS can shape people's understanding of everyday topics, such as
weather forecasts, politics, and nutrition. The purpose of this study was to see how
this course influenced holistic understanding of science in both males and females and to examine the differences in this understanding, if any, between the genders.
