| General note |
This monograph presents a summary and analysis of the research in the Caribbean on cultural practices and beliefs and their possible impact/ influence on science education, especially in schools. Interest in the above as an area of research in the region, emerged almost simultaneously in two different but linked areas of concern. On the one hand willingness or not to accept as truth selected local beliefs was used as one of several measures of scientific literacy in lower secondary students in the Jamaican context. On the other hand, science-related social beliefs and the response of lower secondary students to some of these in Trinidad and Tobago. Both these initial pieces of research suggested that there was a high degree of commitment to local beliefs amongst students of both territories. This resulted in the abstraction of contain distinctive principles which seemed to characterize these beliefs/sayings. Some recommendations for future research are suggested. |
