“…It is capable of predicting possible future developments in scientific knowledge as long as it adopts the expected future conditions and technologies. In this respect, science fiction enhances the imagination of young readers, arouses their lasting interest in science, and stimulates their prediction skills while educating them (Lundquist, 2012).…”

“…PTH less than 50 pg/ml was associated with adverse outcomes and a high proportion of these patients were continued on therapy for SHPT, increasing their risk of adynamic bone disease. With a suggestion that a PTH more than 300 ng/ml is associated with increased risk of death and hospitalization, the trend towards increased PTH in dialysis patients worldwide may have clinical consequences [30].…”

Chronic kidney diseases (CKD) are commonly associated with calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorders. The general term of “renal osteodystrophy” (ROD) encompasses a complex spectrum of abnormalities in bone and mineral metabolism in CKD. This is one of the most serious and debilitating complications of CKD. It is related to disproportionately high direct and indirect costs of healthcare, thus posing a major burden on society. The development of ROD begins too early in the course of CKD. Some mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of ROD are reduced calciferol production, calcium deficiency and hyperphosphatemia. Clinically, ROD occurs with varied manifestations – osteomalacia, osteoporosis, adynamic bone disease. The diagnosis and the treatment are a challenge for the physician and effort should be made to prolong the duration and quality of life of the affected patients.

“…While science-fiction movies are intended to offer entertainment to their audiences, they also develop their imagination, boost their interest in science and enable them to make forecasts in educational terms (Lundquist, 2012). Yazıcı and Altınparmak (2010) show that science-fiction movies, scripts, and narratives are effective teaching tools that can be used in science education.…”

This study aims to determine the impact of science-fiction movies on science teacher candidates' selfefficacy perceptions of their scientific literacy. A mixed methodology was used in the study, which was conducted in the classes of Natural Sciences and Society with a total of 20 second-year teacher candidates from the department of primary education science teaching at a public university in Istanbul during the spring semester of the 2012-2013 academic year, over five weeks; 10 science-fiction movies were watched by these students in this period. Data were collected using a survey designed to capture self-efficacy perception of scientific and technological literacy that was composed of a 33-item instrument, with a 5-point Likert scale for responses to each item, and seven interview questions. The research data were assessed using the t-test for dependent samples, the descriptive statistics technique found in SPSS, and the descriptive analysis method, a qualitative method. The results show that science-fiction movies had a positive impact on the teacher candidates' self-efficacy perceptions of their scientific literacy. Furthermore, teacher candidates rated themselves "moderately capable" in 17 items in response to the survey instrument in the pre-implementation period, but this figure decreased to five following the implementation period.
