Hand, Brian; Hohenshell, Liesl; Prain, Vaughan – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2004
Whereas there has been strong advocacy of the value of writing for learning in science, the role of student planning in this approach and the relationships between planning, writing, and learning have been underresearched. Our mixed method study aimed to address this issue by seeking to identify quantitative differences in learning outcomes…
