Peer reviewedConwell, Catherine R.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1987
Examined the effect of matching learners' cognitive styles with science learning activities on changes in science knowledge and attitudes. Fifty-six elementary education majors, identified as Sensing Feeling types on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, participated in the study. Results revealed no significant differences between matched and…

Peer reviewedSpector, Barbara S. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1985
A model for a desired state master's degree in science education was generated by identifying the training needs of teachers presently teaching science in southern Florida. The model includes an analysis of the current master's program, recommended changes, and rationale for these changes. Implications for noncredit inservice activities are noted.…

Peer reviewedCrawley, Frank E., III – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1990
Investigated were determinants of teachers' behavioral intentions including attitude toward the behavior, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control. Intent to perform the behavior appears to be under the control of most teachers, with little need for social support and with ample resources and sufficient opportunities available to perform…

Peer reviewedBaird, William E.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1989
Describes and evaluates science teachers' implementation of microcomputers at a field-test site that was part of a program to encourage literacy of science teachers in the use of microcomputers (ENLIST-Micros). Discusses why only 33 percent of the teachers used computers one year after the training. (Author/YP)
