The important basis for learning natural science is students’ understanding of the nature and structure of scientific knowledge and the process by which it is developed.

The study was based on survey, which investigates university students' reports about their intention in participation or learning theory of science. The scientific method represents a way of critical thinking. Science strengthens the ability to have an opinion founded more in facts than personal feelings.

Our research study presents the university students opinions and ideas which could help identify the causes of the problem why students get taught so little about the science as whole?
