A Study of the Association of Attitudes to the Philosophy of Science with Classroom Contexts, Academic Qualification and Professional Training, amongst A-Level Biology Teachers in Harare, Zimbabwe.
Gwimbi, Eric; Monk, Martin
International Journal of Science Education, v25 n4 p469-88 Apr 2003
Investigates the association between attitude towards the philosophy of science and academic qualification professional training. Analyzes responses from 33 A-level biology teachers to a questionnaire and reports from teachers in Harare on their school contexts. Suggests that the differential distribution of facilities and resources across school contexts reinforces the differential distribution of attitudes towards the philosophy of science. (Author/KHR)
