Attitudes toward Science of Gifted and Nongifted Fifth Graders.

Harty, Harold; Beall, Dwight

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v21 n5 p483-88 May 1984

Investigated whether differences existed between gifted (N=25) and nongifted (N=25) fifth graders and between the sexes and related subgroups with respect to attitudes toward science. Although results indicated that gifted students had more positive attitudes than nongifted students and boys had more positive attitudes than girls, the findings were not statistically significant.
