Preservice Elementary Teacher Attitudes to Science and Science Teaching.
Ginns, Ian S.; Foster, William J.
Science Education, v67 n2 p277-82 Apr 1983
Results of a previous study indicated no difference in preservice teacher attitude/achievement using lecture/inquiry approaches. This study was replicated, also examining effects of sex and students' (N=471) previous science training. Although results for science understanding were not significant, analysis of attitude change indicates that males/females responded differently to inquiry/lecture approaches. (JN)
