N2 - Differences in presage and instructional variables between specialized and general teachers who taught science were examined and delineated. Specialized teachers were judged to be better prepared and to exhibit more adequate modes of science instruction. However, the science achievement of their students did not reflect this superiority. A causal model, derived by path analysis, was constructed to explain this apparent lack of effect: A mediating effect of attitudes on achievements operated differently for the two teacher populations.
