Peer reviewedRubba, Peter A. – School Science and Mathematics, 1982
Data from 79 physics teachers are analyzed to determine: (1) what were the inservice needs identified by at least 65 percent of this group; and (2) if physics teachers' inservice needs differ from science teachers in general. The top 13 needs appeared consistent with recent efforts to make physics more humanistic. (MP)
