Abstract
This paper analyses the first application of a newly validated Secondary Science Self-concept Instrument (Hardy, 2008) for measuring the multidimensional and hierarchical academic self-concept in science. The analysis examines pupils’ self-concept profiles across the science domain spectrum and considers age range and gender related subgroup differences. The paper also explores the potential utility of the self-concept measurement instrument as a pedagogical device for science educators and learners of science.
