Schwendimann, Beat A.; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2016
Concept map activities often lack a subsequent revision step that facilitates knowledge integration. This study compares two collaborative critique activities using a Knowledge Integration Map (KIM), a form of concept map. Four classes of high school biology students (n?=?81) using an online inquiry-based learning unit on evolution were assigned…

Rotbain, Yosi; Marbach-Ad, Gili; Stavy, Ruth – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2006
Our main goal in this study was to explore whether the use of models in molecular genetics instruction in high school can contribute to students' understanding of concepts and processes in genetics. Three comparable groups of 11th and 12th graders participated: The control group (116 students) was taught in the traditional lecture format, while…
