This study showed that teaching science based on visual art activities is a more effective activity on
students’ attitudes towards teaching science through visual art activities considering their science
achievements. However, it indicated that “the sense to arts and visuality” is improved more significantly
than other dimensions of
attitude scale. While developing these dimensions, science teaching based on
visual art activities may be planned again by considering socio‐cultural factors such as learning
environments, family factors and students’ necessities. Furthermore, this study should be extended to
apply different topics of science and technology, and to investigate the effects
of visual art activities on
students’ creativity, scientific skills and critical thinking skills. In this context, it should be adapted to
Science and Technology Curriculum, and be extended to all primary schools in Turkey. For this purpose,
pre‐service seminars about teaching science through visual art activities should be given to
science and
technology teachers. Visual art activities should be used in other courses such as math, biology,
geography, astronomy etc.
