Peer reviewedJohnson, T. Franklin; Butts, David P. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1983
Investigated relationships among college students (N=76) science achievement, engaged time (observed and perceived), personal characteristics of academic aptitude, reasoning ability, attitude toward science, and locus of control. Among the results reported are significant relationships between engaged time measures and achievement, and between…

Peer reviewedHeath, Phillip A.; Heath, Pearl – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
Investigated effects of limited oral/physical teacher intervention on object manipulation by preschool/early elementary children (N=70). Experimental students had magnets placed in their hands and were orally invited to explore. Results indicated differences between experimental/control groups in time spent with objects, number of activities…

Peer reviewedTobin, Kenneth G.; Capie, William – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
Twelve pupils from each of 13 middle school science classes participated in this study. Findings, among others, indicate that two of nine engagement measures (attending and generalizing), together with formal reasoning ability, were related to process skill, achievement, and retention. (JN)
