Teachers' Beliefs About the Nature of Science and Their Relationship to Classroom Practice
Abstract
The effect of teachers' beliefs about the nature of science on their classroom practice was exam ined. Three science teachers were interviewed to elucidate their understanding of science and science teaching. To make connections between their thinking about science and their actions in teaching science, each teacher's classes were observed for at least 35 hours. The teachers differed in their views of the nature of scientific theories, scientific processes, and the progression and change of scientific knowledge. Teachers' beliefs about science influenced not only explicit lessons about the nature of science, but also shaped an implicit curriculum concerning the nature of scientific knowledge.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
