Victoria Johnson; Reese Butterfuss; Rina Harsch; Panayiota Kendeou – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2025
A crucial hurdle to addressing climate change is science denial. While research suggests that science denial is related to judgments individuals make about the credibility of information sources, less is known about how source credibility and characteristics of the individual interact to affect science denial. In the present study, we examined the…

Park, Soonhye; Kite, Vance; Suh, Jee Kyung; Jung, Jinhong; Rachmatullah, Arif – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Engaging students in the essential practices of science has been forwarded as an effective means to achieve scientific literacy for all students by promoting the learning of content, procedures, and the epistemology of science concurrently. However, the emphasis on science practices requires teachers not only to develop skills and knowledge…

Tuncay-Yüksel, Büsra; Yilmaz-Tüzün, Özgül; Zeidler, Dana L. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
The purpose of this study was to test predictability of environmental moral reasoning patterns of preservice science teachers (PSTs) by their epistemological beliefs and values. Four environmental moral dilemma scenarios that reflect different environmental moral dilemma situations taking place in four outdoor recreation contexts (i.e., hiking,…

Deniz, Hasan; Donnelly, Lisa A.; Yilmaz, Irfan – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2008
In this study, using multiple regression analysis, we aimed to explore the factors related to acceptance of evolutionary theory among preservice Turkish biology teachers using conceptual ecology for biological evolution as a theoretical lens. We aimed to determine the extent to which we can account for the variance in acceptance of evolutionary…

Britner, Shari L.; Pajares, Frank – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2006
The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree to which A. Bandura's ([1997]) hypothesized sources of self-efficacy predict the science self-efficacy beliefs of middle school students (N = 319), to replicate previous findings that science self-efficacy predicts science achievement, and to explore how science self-efficacy and its…
