Peer reviewedBaird, William E.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1989
Describes and evaluates science teachers' implementation of microcomputers at a field-test site that was part of a program to encourage literacy of science teachers in the use of microcomputers (ENLIST-Micros). Discusses why only 33 percent of the teachers used computers one year after the training. (Author/YP)
