Abstract Developing elementary students' informed views of nature of science(NOS)is the major goal of international science education. Elementary students have their cognitive development stage, teachers should design NOS teaching that meets the cognitive development level of primary school students based on their cognitive development stages. Appropriate instruction can develop elementary students' views of NOS, but it is hard for elementary students to hold an informed view. The future research should focus on young children's cognitive development levels,and combine explicit-reflective teaching methods with de-contextualized and contextualized activities to explore more effective NOS teaching strategies for elementary students at different cognitive development stages.
