Direct linkHand, Brian; Wallace, Carolyn; Yang, Eun-Mi – International Journal of Science Education, 2004
Science laboratory activities within secondary science have traditionally followed prescriptive outlines both in the structure and reporting of the activity. Building on current understandings of writing to learn science strategies, a Science Writing Heuristic has been developed that encourages students to examine laboratory activities much more…

Johnston, Lucy; Miles, Lynden – Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education, 2004
We report the use of a combination of self- and peer-assessment in an undergraduate social psychology laboratory course. Students worked in small groups on a self-directed empirical project that they each wrote up independently as a laboratory report. Marks for the written assignment were moderated by a contribution index measure based on the…

Hasselbring, Ted S.; Goin, Laura I. – Reading and Writing Quarterly, 2004
In this article, we describe the development of a technology-based intervention program for older struggling readers. Developed over several years, this program was based on a theoretical understanding of reading acquisition. In addition, it capitalized on pedagogical principles that can be enhanced through the use of integrated media. The end…
