Haidar, Abdullateef H.

International Journal of Science Education, v21 n8 p807-22 Sep 1999

Discusses Emirates preservice (n=31) and in-service (n=224) teachers' views about the nature of science. Finds that Emirates teachers' views are mixed where traditional views of science are attributed to history and the educational system, and constructivist views are attributed to religious beliefs. Argues that the traditional view of science conflicts with teachers' beliefs. Contains 37 references. (Author/WRM)
