| Popis: | 102 The purposes of this study is to probe the influence of the school teachers’ teaching atmosphere like teachers’ attitude toward Nanotechnology and knowledge of Nanotechnology, students’ attitude toward science (ATS) and knowledge of Nanotechnology (include subject and object knowledge which are SK and OK) on elementary school students’ attitude toward Nanotechnology (ATNa). A two-level database of 1258 students (micro-level) and 122 teachers in 16 schools (macro-level) from the Nanotechnology personnel training project-the first national survey. Multilevel linear modeling was applied to analysis the data. The result points out that in micro-level, gender, ATS, SK and OK can significantly explain students’ ATNa in a positive way. In the macro-level, school teachers’ lecture hour in Nanotechnology, Importance of Nanotechnology and objective knowledge of Nanotechnology have significant effect on students’ ATNa, among these variable, teachers’ objective knowledge of Nanotechnology with a negative way to students’ ATNa. Based on the research finding, the researcher addresses issues of the students’ education attitude and the suggestion for future research. |
