Abstract
An examination of the relationships between the manner of utilization of human and material resources and students’ achievement in and attitude toward science was undertaken in this study. The results show that the frequency of use of laboratory resources had the highest positive correlation with achievement (.57) followed by the quality of use of laboratory resources (.51). Variables related to laboratory staff were not significantly related to achievement. For the attitude measure, the quality of use of laboratory resources had the highest correlation value (.42) followed by the frequency of use of laboratory resources (.39). When the nine resource utilization variables were regressed in a step-wise fashion on the dependent variables, only six made significant contributions to predictions of achievement and attitude. The relative contributions of the variables are reported in the paper.
