Gender Differences in Mathematics Anxiety Among Preservice Teachers and Perceptions of Their Elementary and Secondary School Experience with Mathematics
This study investigated experiential antecedents of mathematics anxiety and associations with gender among preservice student teachers. Participants were 357 students enrolled in the final year of a teacher education program. They responded to the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (Richardson & Suinn, 1972) and a questionnaire to assess experience with mathematics in the elementary and secondary school together with attitudes toward mathematics an…

Factorial Structure of the Revised Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale for Undergraduate Education Majors
The Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale was developed in 1972 by Richardson and Suinn as a single construct measure. A shortened version, the Revised Mathematics Anxiety Scale (RMARS) was developed by Alexander and Martray in 1989. The latter scale was subjected to factor analysis using 357 senior undergraduates in education. Three main factors accounted for 73% of the variance, confirming the scale's multidimensional structure
Note on Preferred Use of Ethnic Identity Labels by Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal Canadians
86 university students (36 native, 50 nonnative) responded to a questionnaire assessing attitudes toward natives after being assigned randomly to use one of five ethnic identity labels. Native resp
Note on Preferred Use of Ethnic Identity Labels by Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal Canadians
86 university students (36 native, 50 nonnative) responded to a questionnaire assessing attitudes toward natives after being assigned randomly to use one of five ethnic identity labels. Native respondents rated natives uniformly more positively regardless of ethnic identity label, and described their own ethnic heritage most often using tribal terms rather than identity labels employed by nonnatives
Gender differences in adoption of Aids preventive behaviors: Implications for women's Aids education programs
Reply to Lock
74 Reply to Lock Alan D. Bowd1 LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY, CANADA Lock's paper begins with a description of current approaches to the use of dissection in English schools. Lock contends that present practice employs the technique to assist students to understand the process of scientific inquiry, and to engage in sophisticated exploration of anatomical structures and their functions. His comments are interesting, but in the absence of supporting evidenc…
Dissection as an Instructional Technique in Secondary Science: Choice and Alternatives
This article examines the role of dissection in the teaching of secondary biology and environmental science, within the context of the development of attitudes toward animals. Retrospective data concerning their experience in high school with dissection for 191 undergraduate education students are described, and their reported use of alternatives to invasive animal study are evaluated in relation to specific educational objectives in secondary sc…
The Case Against Laboratory Animal Research in Psychology
The use of animals in psychological research and teaching raises complex scientific, social, and ethical questions. Indeed, the animal rights movement has specifically targeted behavioral research for its invasive procedures and often trivial or repetitive results. The response of the psychological establishment—particularly the American Psychological Association—has been to adopt a defensive posture and to trivialize the concerns of animal prote…
Attitudes Toward the Treatment of Animals: A Study of Christian Groups in Australia
One hundred and eighty-seven active churchgoers were surveyed regarding their attitudes toward the treatment of animals. Participants were members of five Christian denominations selected as representing theological positions ranging from liberal to conservative. The chief expectation of the study—that a more positive (i.e., humane) attitude would relate to a more liberal theological position—was confirmed
High School Biology and Attitudes toward Treatment of Animals
In secondary schools biology curricula usually include two principal affective aims, the development of scientific objectivity and the enhancement of respect for living things (3). laboratory's function in science education has been assumed to involve the development of scientific thinking, intellecrual growth, practical skills, and favorable attimdes toward science (2); however, routine reliance upon laboratory techniques in biology and may incr…
Development and Validation of a Scale of Attitudes Toward the Treatment of Animals
A 30-item instrument was developed to measure attitudes toward the treatment of animals. Content reflected four major domains: companion animals, animals in agriculture, animals in research, and wild animals. Items followed a Likert-type format. Analysis of responses from 121 college students indicated acceptable reliability (.90). Differences between two groups exhibiting distinctly contrasting behavior toward animals and factor analytic results…
Reported Fears of Animals among Biology and Non-Biology Students
Differences in reported fexs of animals have been shown to relate to mental ability ( 3 ) , developmental level (12 ) , and sex (1, 3 ) . Individual differences in fears and aversion toward animals have been attributed to both socialization and formal education (1, 6) . Evidence of the latter is lacking although there is some evidence that the study of biology relates to a willingness to handle animals ( 5 ) . The present study obtained evidence …
