Science Attitudes and Preparation of Preservice Elementary Teachers.

Young, Betty J.; Kellogg, Theodore

Science Education, v77 n3 p279-91 Jun 1993

Compares science and mathematics experience of prospective elementary teachers (n=96) and other nonscience arts and sciences majors (n=179). Results revealed that on the average both groups received equal training in each subject area. However, data suggest that elementary teachers' attitude toward science warrants concern. (ZWH)
