Abstract
This paper reports an investigation 1 1 Wilmut, J. (1971). ‘The effect of project work on pupils’ attitudes to science’, unpublished MEd thesis, University of Bath View all notes into attitudes held towards science by sixth‐form pupils concerned in project work as part of the Nuffield ‘A’ Level course in Physical Science. The links between attitudes and attitude changes and project marks are explored, together with other factors that may affect these quantities. It is shown that attitudes have some effect in determining the outcome of the project and that, in a few cases the project affects the attitudes held by the pupil. In the great majority of pupils, however, the project has little effect in this area. Some investigation into the effect of abilities is also included, together with relationships between attitudes and abilities.
