Students' versus Their Teachers' Beliefs and Positions on Science/Technology/Society-Oriented Issues.

Zoller, Uri; And Others

International Journal of Science Education, v13 n1 p25-36 Jan-Mar 1991

Grade 11 students enrolled in a science/technology/society (STS) course, students not enrolled and their respective teachers were profiled. The results indicate that STS education rather that STS "doctrination" is the norm, the goal of "STS-literate" students has not been achieved, and the long-term retention capability of the established and desired positions and beliefs is questionable.
