Abstract:
This thesis is about a study that examines the biasing of four intervening strategies in Science-Technology-Society: discussion, debate, role-play, and exposure to videotapes. The author employs a Likert-type scale to measure attitudinal changes in a pretest-posttest arrangement, and concludes that "role effect" has a significant biasing effect on student's attitudes.
