Abstract In this research, we examine, through discussion, the process of generating scientific theories from the viewpoint of modern science philosophy, and explore various scientific philosophies gifted students have. After presenting the structure of Thomas Samuel Kuhn’s scientific revolution, a modern science philosophy, and the reference material of the research program of Lakatos Imre, the students interpret the process of changing the definition of the Acid-base group based on Kuhn’s philosophy and Lakatos’s research. Hereafter, the process of the evolution of the scientific theory is explained and the process of the atomic model change is analyzed in terms of Kuhn and Lakatos. Through this process, we observed how students' views of existing scientific philosophies change. As a result, the recognition of the six topic scientific research methods have developed in the hypothesis-deductional way, which is a more evolved method, In regard to evidence collection and analysis, observation of experiments, theories, laws, model, the students’ perspective have shifted from the observational inductive perspective to hypothetical-deductive perspective.
