Prospective Elementary Teacher Understandings of Pest-Related Science and Agricultural Education Benchmarks.

Trexler, Cary J.; Heinze, Kirk L.

Journal of Agricultural Education, v42 n1 p81-94 2001

Clinical interviews with eight preservice elementary teachers elicited their understanding of pest-related benchmarks. Those with out-of-school experience were better able to articulate their understanding. Many were unable to make connections between scientific, societal and technological concepts.
