Matthews, Michael R.
Science Education, v81 n3 p295-315 Jun 1997
Examines J.T. Robinson's writings including his book, The Nature of Science and Science Teaching. Argues that Robinson's writing is heavily influenced by the then-dominant logical empiricist tradition in philosophy of science. Points out some problems with this tradition and discusses how science educators can promote an understanding and appreciation of philosophy of science. Contains 100 references. (Author/JRH)
