Zhou, Ying; Li, Xiuting; Sing Chai, Ching; Tsai, Chin-Chung; Liang, Jyh-Chong – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Past studies have shown that students' conceptions of learning science (CLS) are related to their approaches to learning science (ALS) and to their self-efficacy for learning science (SELS), but it has not yet been studied whether parents' CLS play a role in children's ALS and SELS. This research investigated 472 pairs of Chinese high school…
