Abstract | This article reports on science teachers' experiences and knowledge of the nature and nurture of interaction of traditional culture with science education in Zimbabwe. Structured content analysis was applied on 58 samples of open-ended response text as well as on the transcript of a 14 member random sample focus group interview leading to a qualitative profile of teachers' perceptions. In both the written and oral responses, teachers identified multiple dimensions of traditional culture which interact with science education in a way which inhibited the adoption and spontaneous application of science and its values to problem situations. The focus group interview showed that some science teachers held strong traditional values and beliefs. Implications of the kowledge and experiences of the teachers in science education are discussed. (DIPF/Abstract übernommen) |
