A study has been carried out to look at pupils' opinions about science and technology

With the current emphasis on topical science in the new GCSE specifications Edgar Jenkins of Leeds University has carried out a study to look at pupils' opinions about science and technology.1 Part of a larger, international study entitled the Relevance of Science Education (ROSE) Project, the survey involved 1277 pupils, aged 14-15, studying in schools across England. The pupils had to indicate how much they agreed or disagreed with 16 statements provided in a questionnaire.
