Scott, Norval C., Jr.

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 10, 4, 323-330, 73

Studied the effects of the inquiry strategy method on the styles of categorization of 92 students, using results from the Sigel Cognitive Style Test administered in 1966, 1970, and 1971. Concluded that the inquiry-exposed groups were found to be significantly more analytical than the comparison groups. (CC)
