Abstract

The present study investigates awareness and attitudes towards nanotechnology among teachers and students from the Arab sector in Israel. The research was based on distributing a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The results revealed that both the teachers and students have a basic knowledge of nanotechnology. Moreover, different variables including gender, grade, years of experience, and level of education, have revealed no effect, considering the fact that nanotechnology is not introduced as a subject in teaching curriculum in schools.
