Peer reviewedSmith, Mike U. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1991
Criticizes an article by Browning and Lehman (1988) for (1) using "gene" instead of allele, (2) misusing the word "misconception," and (3) the possible influences of the computer environment on the results of the study. (PR)

Peer reviewedBrowning, Mark; Lehman, James D. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1991
Authors respond to criticisms by Smith in the same issue and defend their use of the term "gene" and "misconception." Authors indicate that they did not believe that the use of computers significantly skewed their data concerning student errors. (PR)
