Peer reviewedLawrenz, Frances – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1985
Determined: (1) if elementary education majors (N=91) from different levels of reasoning ability learned more science concepts under different grouping methods in an inquiry/learning cycle-based physical science class; and (2) if these students became able to reason more effectively under the different grouping methods.

Peer reviewedLehman, Jeffrey R.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1984
Explored the effects of learning on structural modifications to the periodic table; the location of a periodic table within instructional materials; and the presence of a two-page schema showing relationships between the topics explained in the written materials and the periodic table. Results obtained from 160 students are reported and discussed.…

Peer reviewedGabel, Dorothy L.; Sherwood, Robert D. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1983
Investigated superiority of instructional strategies (factor-label method, proportionality, use of analogies, use of diagrams) in teaching problem-solving related to mole concept, gas laws, stoichiometry, and molarity. Also investigated effectiveness of strategies for students (N=609) with different verbal-visual preferences, proportional…

Peer reviewedHorak, Willis J.; Slobodzian, Kurt A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1980
Utilizes ATI methods to study relationships between locus of control and preservice science education achievement in science content and science process under high- and low-structured instructional treatments. Findings show that, overall, a high-structure condition was most effective but that internal students achieved more in a low-structured…

Peer reviewedKozma, Robert B. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
Results are reported of performance and attitudes of students (N=109) receiving high structure (objectives, reviews, examples, questions, feedback) and students (N=108) receiving low structure (emphasis on content) laboratory manuals and instructions. (SK)

Peer reviewedLong, Joe C.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1981
Measured the effects of three variations in the use of diagnostic-prescriptive (DP) teaching on the cognitive and affective biology achievement of high school students (N=93). Variations included: (1) no DP assistance; (2) teacher-managed DP; and (3) student-managed DP. Results favor DP approaches. (Author/JN)

Peer reviewedBurkman, 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…
