The Effect of Instruction on Socio-Cultural Beliefs Hindering the Learning of Science.
Jegede, Olugbemiro J.; Okebukola, Peter A. O.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v28 n3 p275-85 Mar 1991

The findings also indicate that anthropomorphic and mechanistic views can be presented in such a way as to promote positive attitudes toward the study of science in traditional cultures. (PR)
