Peer reviewedJudge, Joan – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1975
Studied two groups of preschoolers taught observational skills by the Montessori method or Science-A Process Approach (SAPA) curriculum. Found no significant difference in competence level between groups, but the SAPA children acquired observational skills in a shorter period of time. (MLH)

Peer reviewedDeTure, Linda R.; Koran, John J., Jr. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1975
Two groups of fourth graders performed a science activity. The treatment group first watched a filmed explanation of the activity by selected students from the class; the control group did not watch the film. The treatment group generated significantly more positive behaviors and less negative behaviors in the activity. (MLH)

The Effect of Different Modes of Task Orientation on Observational Attainment in Practical Chemistry
Peer reviewedKempa, R. F.; Ward, J. E. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1975
Examines the effect of three different modes of task orientation on observational attainment in practical chemistry. Results include the overall performance on the chemistry observation test and an analysis of the influence of the complexity of observational tasks on observational attainment. (Author/GS)
