Abstract | This study examined the acceptance of evolutionary theory among Chinese preservice biology teachers. We explored the nature of relationship between acceptance of evolutionary theory and potential predictors of acceptance such as understanding of evolutionary theory, mother's education level, thinking dispositions, religious orientation, and years spent in biology education program. We conducted a sequential multiple regression analysis by using acceptance of evolutionary theory as the dependent variable, and understanding of evolutionary theory, mother's education level, and thinking dispositions as predictors. Religiosity and years spent in the biology education program were not correlated with the acceptance of evolutionary theory. Understanding of evolutionary theory, mother's education level, and thinking dispositions together accounted for 34 % of variance in acceptance of evolutionary theory. (As Provided). |
