Direct linkReid, Norman – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2008
Around 1960, there were quite radical changes in emphasis in many countries in school chemistry education, with subsequent changes in many university courses. Considerable research was undertaken to explore the learning problems students were reporting and the common thread underlying became apparent: it related to the way humans process new…

Noting that understanding how science students respond to anomalous data is essential to understanding knowledge acquisition in science classrooms, this paper presents a detailed analysis of the ways in which scientists and science students respond to anomalous data. The paper postulates seven distinct forms of response to anomalous data: ignoring…

Champagne, Audrey B.; Klopfer, Leopold E. – 1980
Described is how teachers can use the Concept Structuring Analysis Technique (ConSAT) as a diagnostic, learning, and assessment task in teaching science. In essence, ConSAT assists students in organizing concepts on paper so that they may link what they already know to what they have to learn. The technique thus applies the philosophical notion of…

Peer reviewedUnderwood, C. I.; And Others – Physics Education, 1987
Discusses the use of satellite data in physics classrooms. Describes the apparatus that can be used to collect and analyze data. Provides examples of how telemetry data transmitted by the satellite UoSAT-2 can be used not only in teaching physics, but also in geography, mathematics, and information technology. (TW)

Peer reviewedBerger, Carl F.; Pintrich, Paul R. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1986
Uses two studies to examine developmental and task effects in estimation problems. Results are discussed in terms of student and task characteristics and the implications of such variables on information processing model of learning. Implications for science teaching, learning problem diagnostics, and science curricula are also discussed. (TW)

Slater, Tim – Learning & Leading with Technology, 1998
Describes good sources of real-time science data available on the World Wide Web for grades 5-12 classrooms. Highlights include preparation and software tools; ways to integrate scientific investigations into classroom instruction; data manipulation, including trend analysis, animation, enhancement, and measurement; and student assessment.
