The Influences of Sequenced Instructional Strategy and Locus of Control on Preservice Elementary Teachers' Understanding of the Nature of Science.

Peer reviewed

Scharmann, Lawrence C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1988

Examines the influence of both locus of control and three instructional strategies to foster an understanding of the nature of science. Reports that the nature of science was most predictable for a separate process/content/teaching methods and logical thinking ability was the best predictor of the nature of science. (Author/YP)
