This study investigated if the external morphology of an insect had a negative effect on
United States (US) preservice elementary teacher’s attitudes toward insects and beliefs
concerning the likelihood of incorporating insects into future science education settings.
270 US kindergarten through sixth grade preservice elementary teachers participated and
a randomized design with a control group was used for the study. The participants were
shown pictures of three insects (i.e., butterfly, lady beetle or dragonfly) and were asked to
rate their attitude toward the insects and beliefs concerning the likelihood of incorporating
the insects into future science education settings. The treatment group was shown a
picture of the larva and adult stage of the insect. The control group was only shown the
adult stage of the insect. Unique to this study, is the finding that the external morphology
of an insect is a causal factor that can negatively affect preservice elementary teacher’s
attitudes toward insects and beliefs concerning the likelihood of incorporating insects into
future science education settings. Implications are discussed that can assist preservice
teacher training programs.
