Direct linkShemwell, Jonathan T.; Chase, Catherine C.; Schwartz, Daniel L. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2015
Evaluating the relation between evidence and theory should be a central activity for science learners. Evaluation comprises both hypothetico-deductive analysis, where theory precedes evidence, and inductive synthesis, where theory emerges from evidence. There is mounting evidence that induction is an especially good way to help learners grasp the…

Problem-Solving Behaviors during a Genetics Computer Simulation: Beyond the Expert/Novice Dichotomy.
Peer reviewedSimmons, Patricia E.; Lunetta, Vincent N. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1993
The problem-solving behaviors and genetics concepts employed by experts and novices during interaction with the computer simulation CATLAB, were examined. Thirteen subjects (3 experts and 10 novices) investigated a common hypothesis on a specific genetic trait during the computer activity. Using naturalistic research methods, general patterns of…
