Preservice Teachers' Perceived Constraints of Teaching Science in the Elementary Classroom.
Eiriksson, Sandra
Journal of Elementary Science Education, v9 n2 p18-27 1997
Examines the most common constraints preservice teachers perceive about teaching science, the locus of control for these constraints, and strategies for overcoming the five most common constraints so that teachers can resolve feelings of powerlessness. Constraints include time allotted, financial resources, curriculum standards, peer pressure to teach in a specific manner, and the issue of individual versus cooperative learning. (PVD)
