    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Understanding both the processes and products of science are\ncore components of science literacy, but do these types of\nknowledge interact during learning? We propose that Nature of\nScience (NoS) understanding can act as a schema to facilitate\ncomprehension of science content. Across two experiments,\nwe tested whether NoS lessons about theory change improve\nstudents' comprehension of psychology lessons which are centered\naround theory development. In Experiment 1, undergraduates\nwho watched a NoS lesson showed improved NoS understanding,\nbut this understanding did not lead to better comprehension\nof a matched psychology lesson compared to control.\nIn Experiment 2, three NoS lessons were experimentally\nintegrated into a college psychology course, preceding content\nlessons involving theory change. While this intervention\ndid not improve learning, we found several relationships between\nscience beliefs and academic performance. This work\ncontributes to our limited understanding of how these distinct\ncomponents of science knowledge interact during learning.",
