Shumba, Overson
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v36 n3 p333-55 Mar 1999

Teachers' scores of commitment to indigenous culture were positively and significantly correlated to traditional noninquiry ideology-preference scores but not to inquiry instructional ideology-preference scores. Contains 44 references. (Author/WRM)
