Feille, Kelly K. – School Science and Mathematics, 2021
The goals of science education include providing students with real-world learning experiences that connect directly to learning objectives and deepen student interest in science. Learning experiences that occur outside of the science classroom can help science educators respond to these goals. To encourage the use of learning environments beyond…

Roseno, Ashley T.; Carraway-Stage, Virginia G.; Hoerdeman, Callan; Díaz, Sebastián R.; Geist, Eugene; Duffrin, Melani W. – School Science and Mathematics, 2015
This article addresses the current state of the mathematics education system in the United States and provides a possible solution to the contributing issues. As a result of lower performance in primary mathematics, American students are not acquiring the necessary quantitative literacy skills to become successful adults. This study analyzed the…

Burns, Barbara A.; Hamm, Ellen M. – School Science and Mathematics, 2011
The primary purpose of this classroom experiment was to examine the effectiveness of concrete (hands-on) manipulatives as compared with virtual (computer-based) manipulatives on student review of fraction concepts in third grade and introduction of symmetry concepts in fourth grade. A pretest-posttest design was employed with a sample of 91…

Barman, Charles R. – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
Presents a study to determine the effects of introducing methods students to the "learning cycle" technique on their ability to adapt science textbooks to the method and employ it in their teaching. Interviews of 24 randomly selected students out of 48 participants indicated that 75 percent used the approach while student teaching and…

Huber, Richard A.; Moore, Christopher J. – School Science and Mathematics, 2001
Presents a model describing one approach for extending seemingly limited hands-on activities into full-inquiry science lessons. Presents the model as a tool for facilitating science teachers' efforts to understand and implement powerful, effective, and manageable inquiry-based science instruction. (Contains 34 references.)

Vance, James H.; Kieren, Thomas E. – School Science and Mathematics, 1972
The study assessed the effectiveness of methematical laboratories as compared with the regular mathematics teaching program. A control group, mathematical laboratory group, and a third group called a Class Discovery Group were formed for making comparisons. Gains were higher on cumulative achievement, transfer, and divergent thinking measures for…

Saunders, Walter L. – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
Discusses the role constructivist learning theory is taking in the change of teaching strategies in the science laboratory. The laboratory moves from a place where knowledge is verified to one where relationships are actively investigated through hands-on, cooperative activities. (MDH)

Repicky, Paul A. – School Science and Mathematics, 1978
The efforts of three science teachers in individualizing an existing eighth grade physical science program are analyzed. The individualized program utilizes team teaching, student choice in selecting contracts, and extension of the standard eighth grade physical science curriculum. (MN)
