Abstract: Research on Nature of Science (NOS) conceptions and identity development for NOS contains a gap in the realm of examining doctoral students aiming to be science teacher educators. This research examines the NOS identity development of participants in a course focused on the philosophy of science and research about NOS education. The data analyzed for this study were recordings and notes taken during class discussions in a NOS seminar, as well as NOS research and teaching assignments associated with the course. These data sources were analyzed for development of four influences on identity development for NOS: (1) personal influences on NOS identity, (2) contextual influences on NOS identity, (3) competing identities with NOS, and (4) persistence in overcoming barriers to development of a NOS identity. Findings emphasize the need to target NOS identity development among teacher educators, as they hold the primary responsibility for instilling a NOS identity in their own students, who are future teachers.
