Students' and Teachers' Understanding of the Nature of Science: A Reassessment.
Lederman, Norman G.
School Science and Mathematics, v86 n2 p91-99 Feb 1986
High school biology teachers (N=18), and one 10th-grade class of each teacher, were given the Nature of Scientific Knowledge Scale at the beginning and end of a school year to determine their conceptions of the nature of science. Results (such as students not possessing "adequate" conceptions of science) are reported and discussed. (JN)
