Can Using Human Examples Facilitate Learning Mendelian Genetics Concepts?

Moore, John M.; And Others

School Science and Mathematics, v92 n5 p273-77 May-Jun 1992

Reports an experimental study of 80 ninth grade biology students randomly assigned to treatment and control groups to determine whether the use of human examples in instructional strategies on Mendelian genetics increases acquisition and retention of genetics concepts. Results indicate that use of human examples in contrast to traditional examples is more effective. (MDH)
