Abstract
Having reviewed traditional Chinese views of Nature and ways of thinking, the struggle for survival of native knowledge when it encountered the challenge of Western science, and, the reflection of the struggle in the field of Chinese science education, the book now moves to describe an empirical study which looked at the functional image of science held by a group of Chinese secondary school science teachers. The study focused on how the teachers view the culture-embedded nature of science.
