Abstract | The purpose of this study was to investigate pre-service teachers' attitudes towards science by using the Test of Science-Related Attitudes (TOSRA) Scale (Fraser, 1981). The 70-item scale was completed by 75 first year pre-service teachers in their foundation year. Dimensions of the scale, which are Social implications of Science, Normality of Scientists, Attitude to Scientific Inquiry, Adoption of Scientific Attitudes, Enjoyment of Science Lessons, Leisure Interest in Science, and Career Interest in Science were investigated and the results showed that pre-service teachers held negatives attitudes towards science and science-related careers. The results guide educators to be aware of their students' negative attitudes towards science so that they can help their students to develop positive attitudes towards science. (As Provided). |
