摘要: Understanding the intersections of science and publics has led to research on how diverse interpret scientific information form positions science-related issues. Research demonstrates that attitudes toward science, political religious orientation, other social factors affect adult interactions with which implications for adults influence K-12 STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) education. Based a statewide survey in Idaho (n = 407), politically religiously conservative western state, we demonstrate measured through composite measure “orientation science,” are correlated support Results show along orientation respondents’ perceptions feeling informed about predicts behavior intentions Our findings suggest nuanced localized approach fos...
