Direct linkSwarat, Su; Light, Greg; Park, Eun Jung; Drane, Denise – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2011
The importance of "size and scale" in nanoscience and engineering has been recognized by both scientists and science educators. A solid understanding of this concept is key to the learning of nanoscience. Students, however, have been reported to have considerable difficulty grasping this concept; yet little is known regarding their state…

Peer reviewedCarter, Carolyn S.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1987
Reports on a study in which two spatial tests were given to science and engineering majors and to students in nursing and agriculture at Purdue University (Indiana). Scores from the tests consistently contributed a small but significant amount of success on measures of performance in chemistry. (TW)

Peer reviewedMoreira, Marco A.; Santos, Carlos A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1981
Two approaches to the content of thermodynamics were used in an introductory college physics course: traditional organization and organization based on Ausubel's learning theory. The influence of these organizations on engineering student's (N=58) cognitive structure was investigated using a word association test analyzed through hierarchical…
