An Analysis of Prospective Science Teachers' Understanding of the Nature of Science.
Ogunniyi, M. B.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v19 n1 p25-32 Jan 1982
An instrument was developed to measure conceptions of the language of science held by prospective Nigerian science teachers (N=106) relative to conceptions held by seven selected science philosophers (Carnap, Frank, Hempel, Kemeny, Nagel, Nash, and Popper). Subjects did not endorse the language of science associated with a particular philosopher. (Author/JN)
