Description
Summary:In this study a special instrument was administered to 55 prospective elementary school teachers. The instrument was designed to determine the prevalence of 216 harmful health and safety misconceptions among the group of prospective elementary school teachers and the extent to which they were aware of the harmfulness of these misconceptions. It was found that many harmful health and safety misconceptions were prevalent among the prospective elementary school teachers and that the prospective elementary school teachers who knew that certain health and safety statements were completely false were also aware of their harmfulness.
