The questionnaire was distributed in November 2013 among
the first and fourth year students at the University of Bahrain,
College of Science, Department of Biology, Department of
Chemistry, Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Operation
Research, and Department of Physics (Fig. 1). University
of Bahrain is the lone governmental university harboring the
largest number of students among all the universities in the
Kingdom of Bahrain.
The study group included all enrolled
students (N = 143) in which the majority of them were female
(133) with an age range from 18 to 24 years old.
The questionnaires
were distributed during lectures or laboratory sessions
to guarantee that the students have relied solely on their
knowledge to answer the survey questions.
