Abstract

This study investigates the attitudes of secondary school teachers towards Science. Participants were (N=151) PE04 teachers from schools all over Greece, responding to a questionnaire based on the DAS (Dimensions of Attitude towards Science) tool. The findings demonstrate positive attitudes towards Science, while the analysis of the results highlights high rates of positive emotions experienced by teachers (joy, pleasure, enthusiasm) as opposed to negative ones (anxiety, tension) when teaching Science. The findings can be used to improve educational policies and targeted support for secondary school teachers towards Science.
