Summers, Mike; Kruger, Colin; Childs, Ann; Mant, Jenny
Environmental Education Research, v6 n4 p293-312 Nov 2000
Uses in-depth interviews to explore the understanding of a non-random sample of 12 practicing primary school teachers in four areas: (1) biodiversity; (2) the carbon cycle; (3) ozone; and (4) global warming. Identifies those underpinning science concepts that were well understood, and those which were not so well understood. (Author/SAH)
