Concepts of Health and Illness in Thai Children.
Rice, Pranee
International Journal of Science Education, v13 n1 p115-27 Jan-Mar 1991
The conceptual frameworks of Thai children (n=48) related to causes of health and sickness were analyzed using the "Interview-about-Instances" and the "Conceptual Profile Inventory" techniques. The results indicate that Thai schoolchildren hold considerable personal knowledge about the causes of health and sickness that does not derive from school knowledge or scientific frameworks. (KR)
