Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to examine and compare pre-service and in-service secondary tearchers' beliefs about STS, particulary beliefs about the nature of science and technology and their interaction within society. For this study, a belief was defined as something that people believe and accept as true. Instrument used in this investigation was empirically developed multiple-choice instrument entitled the Tearchers' Belief about Science - Technology - Society(TBA-STS) by Peter A. Rubba and William L. Harkness. The result of survey showed that large percentages of the preservice and in-service secondary science teachers in the two samples held misconception about the nature of science and technology and their interactions within society. And there was no apparent difference between the samples on their beliefs about STS interactions.
