Effects of Science Teachers' Epistemological Beliefs in Teaching.
Hashweh, Maher Z.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v33 n1 p47-63 Jan 1996
Administered questionnaires to 35 science teachers to test the hypotheses that teachers holding constructivist beliefs are more likely to detect alternative conceptions, have a richer repertoire of teaching strategies, use more effective teaching strategies for inducing conceptual change, and report frequent use of effective teaching strategies. Reports that analysis of the data supports all hypotheses. (Author/JRH)
