Alienation of Students from Science in Grades 4-12.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
James, Robert K.; Smith, Stan – Science Education, 1985
Investigated the grade/grade levels at which alienation from science occurs. Alienation is defined in terms of declining science subject preference and attitude scores of students (including Blacks and females) in cross sectional samples of adjacent grade levels. Data show that the greatest decline occurred between 6th and 7th grades. (JN)
