Kellogg, Theodore M.; Leonard, Carol – 1987
A university consortium recently undertook a project designed to explore the use of technology in teaching high school biology as a means of engaging students actively in the scientific method, and in changing the role of the teacher from lecturer and conclusion drawer to initiator and facilitator. The study examined the degree to which teachers…
