Studies on Attitude Toward Teaching Science and Anxiety About Teaching Science in Preservice Elementary Teachers.
Westerback, Mary E.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v19 n7 p603-16 Oct 1982
Effects of a sequence of two science content courses (earth science/biology and physical science) on preservice elementary teachers' attitude toward and anxiety about science teaching were examined. Results from two studies (1977-78, N=78 and 1978-79, N=71) indicate attitude/anxiety changed in a positive direction and continued in subsequent teacher training courses. (Author/JN)
