Agne, Russell M. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1972
Students in classes using a self-instructional unit on meteorology and climatology which provided research data from which generalizations could be drawn increased their critical thinking skills more than groups using conventional earth science texts but did not differ significantly in performance on an achievement test.

More on Time Series Designs: A Reanalysis of Mayer and Kozlow's Data.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Willson, Victor L. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
Differentiating between time-series design and time-series analysis, examines design considerations and reanalyzes data previously reported by Mayer and Kozlow in this journal. The current analysis supports the analysis performed by Mayer and Kozlow but puts the results on a somewhat firmer statistical footing. (Author/JN)
