    Abstract
    This study aims at exploring primary school students' perceptions of NOS and their religious beliefs. Students' understanding of the nature of science and students' religious belief were measured using a four-scale questionnaire. Participants of the study were 109 grade five and six students who were willing to participate in an online survey. The findings show that students have a good understanding of NOS in the aspect of subjectivity, creativity, socio-cultural closeness, empirical aspect, observation and inference, scientific method, scientific ethos. However, their scores on tentativeness of science, scientific laws, and scientific theories are fairly low. With regard to their religious belief, they believe that the creation of nature is evidence of God's power that can be proven by science. They believe that conducting the scientific investigation is a part of the worship of God.
