Besides, comparison of students{\textquoteright} perceptions was made in these four points with four class levels. A version of Perry Model developed by Finster was used in this study. This model shows how students develop from a simplistic stance on the nature of knowledge to one which is more pluralistic and contextual. The results showed that university learning environment positively effected the science undergraduate students{\textquoteright} perceptions about role of lecturer, taking responsibility for their own learning, autonomous learning, and self expression. In addition, obtained findings can be a guide for redesign of learning environments in undergraduate science education.}, keywords = {intellectual development, Perry model, students{\textquoteright} perceptions, the process of learning}, issn = {1648-3898}, url = {http://oaji.net/articles/2014/987-1404214335.pdf}, author = {Erdal Senocak and Cezmi Unal} }
