Notes
This
case
study
examined
the
relationship
between
teachers‘
conceptions
of the
nature
of
science
(NOS)
and
students‘
academic
performance
in
science
on the
Grade
Six
Achievement
Test
(GSAT)
in
Jamaica
.
Eleven
primary
school
teachers
participated
in the
study
.
Data
included
teachers‘
open
ended
survey
,
focus
group
and
interview
responses
and
existing
data
,
students‘
GSAT
scores
.
Qualitative
and
quantitative
techniques
were
used
to
analyze
data
. A
preponderance
of
naïve
conceptions
was
found
among
participants
and a
relationship
between
these and
students‘
performance
in
science
.
Instruction
in
science
methodology
courses
during
teacher
preparation
programs
was
largely
responsible
for the
NOS
conceptions
held
. A
model
for the
formation
and
perpetuation
of
naïve
NOS
views
and a
mechanism
for
reducing
the
prevalence
of
uninformed
NOS
views
were
presented
,
along
with
recommendations
for
curriculum
development
,
professional
development
, and
teacher
training
.
