The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of the Aboriginal Education policy in NSW secondary science classes. The study was designed to determine the extent of science teachers' understanding of traditional and contemporary Aboriginal culture, as well as to ascertain the extent of their interest in and awareness of Aboriginality, and their degree of implementation of the NSW Aboriginal Education policy. The major component of the study was a postal survey designed to investigate the extent to which a sample of 170 science teachers in NSW government secondary schools: understand aspects of traditional and contemporary Aboriginal culture; comprehend contemporary Aboriginal issues; and have implemented the Aboriginal Education policy in their classes. The study also investigates the extent of their general interest in Aboriginal culture and issues. The survey results indicate that many teachers do not understand significant aspects of both traditional and contemporary Aboriginal culture, and have not successfully implemented the Aboriginal Education policy. However, the study reveals that these teachers do regard Aboriginal perspectives in science as being appropriate.
