“…Therefore, it appears that teachers who participated in this study gained in their attitude toward teaching science as a result of receiving FOSS training. Thus, results of this investigation agree with the findings of, Gabel and Rubba (1979), Lucas and Dooley (1982), and Robardey and Hyde (1989), that one method of changing elementary teachers' attitudes toward teaching science is to provide the teachers with additional training in science.…”

An assessment of the effectiveness of Full Option Science System training for third-through sixth-grade teachers

1994

Twenty-nine third-and fourth-grade teachers and m,enty-five fifth-and sixth-grade teachers from the Texarkana (Arkansas and Texas) area pubfic schools were trained using the Full Option Science System (FOSS). Participants were given pretests and posttests to measure their: confidence toward teaching science, science content lmowledge, attitude toward teaching science, and attitude toward science. Pretest and posttest results were compared using a paired t-test. The results revealed sigT#ficant gains for both groups in teacher confidence toward teaching science, science content knowledge, and attitude toward teaching science. No sigmficant increase in attitude toward science was detected in the third-and fourth-grade teachers. However, the fzfth-and sixth-grade teachers did show a significant increase in their attitude toward 17 science. Overall, it appears that Full Option Science System training is effective for third-through sixthgT"ade teachers.

“…The other three subscales, designated T-TEA, measure teacher attitude toward teaching science and have a reported test-retest reliability of 0.81 (Moore, 1973). Additional information concerning this instrument is reported by Moore (1973), Moore and Sutman (1970), Riley (1979), and Gabel and Rubba (1979).…”

“…Teachers who have negative beliefs usually transfer their negative beliefs to their students (Czerniak and Chiarellor 1990;Haney et al 2002;Milner et al 2011;Westerback 1982). Gabel and Rubba (1979) and Bhattacharyya et al (2009) reported that teacher training programs may positively affect preservice teachers' attitudes toward science. Therefore, teacher training programs play a crucial role in developing the attitudes and beliefs of teachers.…”

“…Other studies have indicated that attitudes toward science and teaching science can be changed (Dooley, 1977;Koballa and Coble, 1979;Gabel and Rubba, 1979;Moore, 1975;. Current research indicates that other factors need to be considered in attitude study.…”

Beliefs and attitudes of urban primary teachers toward physical science and teaching physical science

1991

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Eighteen primary teachers (K-3) from five urban schools in the southeastern part of the United States participated in this study. The purposes of this study were to provide insight into options for inservice education programs dealing with urban teachers and their unique needs and to determine some of the attitudes and beliefs of urban primary school teachers toward physical science and physical science teaching. The results of this study indicated that these elementary teachers realized the importance of hands-on activities. However, they felt a need for a stronger knowledge of chemistry and physics to competently teach elementary physical science using that instructional strategy. There were significantly positive relationships between their attitudes and beliefs about physical science.
