Computer-aided learning (CAL) is used increasingly to teach anatomy in post-secondary programs. Studies show that augmentation of traditional cadaver dissection and model examination by CAL can be associated with positive student learning outcomes. In order to reduce costs associated with the purchase of skeletons and models and to encourage study…

Riley, Joseph P., II – 1978
Presented is an evaluation of the effect of the three most commonly used question classification systems on preservice teachers' ability to classify questions and on their attitude toward questioning. Thirty elementary science teachers were randomly assigned to one of three treatment levels. Each treatment level consisted of self-instructional…

Ogborn, Jon, Ed.; And Others – 1977
The bulk of this book consists of case studies of a variety of forms of individualized instruction, including Keller Plan courses. The last third of the book deals with the general aspects of using an individualized system of instruction. This portion contains many suggestions about the operational details of an individualized course. (Author/BB)

Lindblom, Tim – American Biology Teacher, 2006
The model organism, "Caenorhabditis elegans," in addition to being well suited to genetics and cell biology teaching applications, can also be useful in the physiology laboratory. In this article, the author describes how students in a junior level college Comparative Physiology course have made use of "C. elegans" in semester-long,…

Peer reviewedAriel, Magda; And Others – European Journal of Science Education, 1982
A two-semester basic chemistry course for nonchemistry engineering majors is described. First semester provides introductory chemistry for freshmen while second semester is "customer-oriented," based on a departmental choice of three out of six independent modules. For example, aeronautical engineering "customers" would select…
