Beliefs about the Nature of Science and the Enacted Science Curriculum.
Tobin, Kenneth; McRobbie, Campbell J.
Science and Education, v6 n4 p355-71 Jul 1997
Describes the teaching and learning of chemistry in an Australian high school as it relates to the beliefs about the nature of science of a teacher and a class with the curriculum actually enacted. Although the teacher and students tended to view science as an evolving and changing discipline, the actual enacted curriculum was approached as a group of facts to be memorized. (AIM)
