Dhingra, Koshi

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v40 n2 p234-56 Feb 2003

Examines how high school students think about science that is mediated by four different program genres on television: (1) documentary; (2) magazine-format programming; (3) network news; and (4) dramatic or fictional programming. Discusses findings regarding ethics and the validity of science, final form science, science as portrayed by its practitioners, and school science and television science. (Author/KHR)
