Barron, Hillary A.; Brown, Julie C.; Cotner, Sehoya – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Science as an enterprise has been and continues to be exclusionary, perpetuating inequities among whose voice is heard as well as what/whose knowledge is recognized as valid. Women, people of color, and persons with disabilities are still vastly outnumbered in science and engineering by their White, male counterparts. These types of imbalances…

Strage, Amy A.; Bol, Linda – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1996
Analyzes ways in which biology is taught by experienced teachers and discusses contexts in which specific teaching strategies seemed successful. Analyses of teachers' responses reveals complex relationships among their perception of what was distinctive about their biology program and students, allocation of class time, efforts to individualize…

Sheehan, Daniel S.; Hambleton, Ronald K. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1977
Examines regression analysis of 12 aptitude measures and an achievement criterion measure in a study of 285 ninth-grade science students who were randomly assigned to one of four individualized programs: teacher-directed treatment, media treatment, reading treatment, and programmed instruction treatment. (MLH)

Hofmeister, Alan M.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1989
Discussed is the conceptualization, development, and formative evaluation of a series of science education videodiscs. The formative data indicated that videodisc programs can enhance the effectiveness of teachers and substantively impact student achievement and attitudes. (Author/CW)

Anderson, Charles; Butts, David – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1980
In this study, worksheets were adapted from an Elementary Science Study unit, "Batteries and Bulbs," to develop an individualized set of instructional materials on electricity. Research questions were asked regarding relationships of teaching technique (individualized v conventional) to achievement and attitudes, gender, and interactions…

Gifford, Vernon D.; Vicks, Joann – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
Compared conventional biology instruction to personalized system of instruction (PSI) and investigated relationship between achievement and selected variables (age, sex, family income/size, grade point average, motivational factors, treatment group, and California Achievement Test scores) of college students (N=80). Results, among others, indicate…

Eniaiyeju, Paul A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1983
Compared effectiveness of teacher-demonstration and self-paced modes of teaching concepts and problem-solving skills in college chemistry. Results showed the self-paced mode significantly more effective for teaching concepts and problem-solving skills. Results of an attitude test also showed that most students (N=60) preferred the self-paced…

Kapuscinski, B. Phyllis – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
Investigated dynamics of change at the classroom level by identifying factors influencing change perceived by administrators, teachers, pupils, and investigator-observer. Results are reported as facilitating/hindering factors affecting adoption of individualized instruction, including teacher, course of study, facilities/materials, administration,…

Burkman, Ernest; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
Examined effects of teaching method (self-directed, group-directed, teacher-directed), academic ability, student assessment of treatment, and allowed time on achievement in three Individualized Science Instructional System (ISIS) biology minicourses. Results, among others, indicated that individualized instruction favored high-ability students and…
