Influences on Commitment to and Learning of Science among Adolescent Students.
Simpson, Ronald D.; Troost, Kay Michael
Science Education, v66 n5 p763-81 Oct 1982
A longitudinal investigation is being conducted to examine commitment to science (attitudes) and science achievement among adolescents (N=4,500) in relation to individual/family/school influences. Addressed are the investigation's theoretical framework and major variables. Data analyses will serve to explain relationships among antecedent/interactional/outcome variables and to suggest future practices in science education. (Author/JN)
