Evaluations of Science Laboratory Data: The Role of Computer-Presented Information.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Nachmias, Rafi; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1987
Examines (1) how students evaluate information obtained in the science laboratory; (2) the effects of use of microcomputer-based laboratory; and, (3) the effects of explicit instruction on critical evaluation skills. Discusses results in terms of students' propensity to accept incorrect graphs and in terms of the effect of the enhanced instruction…
