Preservice Teachers' Views of the Nature of Science during a Postbaccalaureate Science Teaching Program.
Palmquist, Bruce C.; Finley, Fred N.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v34 n6 p595-615 Aug 1997
Investigates preservice science teachers' views of the nature of science and describes changes in those views during a teacher education program. Findings indicate that initially there were an equal number of traditional, mixed, and contemporary views but after the program, the number of contemporary views doubled and the number of mixed views decreased by more than half. Contains 37 references. (Author/JRH)
