| Abstract | This article describes perceptions of secondary science teachers on the nature of science and how their perceptions were related to their commitment to indigenous cultural values, instructional ideology, and to awareness of science-related societal issues. Their perceptions were compared to two models of the nature of science and to perceptions of science teachers in two countries. On the Kimball (1967) model, their perception was found to be inadequate but on the Rubba-Andersen (1978) model, their perception of the nature of scientific knowledge was adequate. Scores on the two models were not correlated. Teachers in this study tended to view science in terms of production of useful technology and in improving human welfare and accepted the view of science as an organised body of knowledge... Academic, professional, and sociocultural background variables were not related to the teachers'perceptions of the nature of science. Orientation to indigenous culture was positively correlated to preference for traditional instructional ideology and both variables were negatively correlated to nature of science scores modestly.
