The causal relationships among the three presences in the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework are explored and tested in this paper. The CoI framework has been used extensively in the research and practice of online and blended learning contexts. With the development of a survey instrument based on the CoI framework, it is possible to test the…

Peer reviewedSalthouse, Timothy A.; And Others – Intelligence, 1990
Three hypotheses accounting for individual differences in spatial visualization ability were investigated in 2 experiments with 142 male undergraduates at Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta). Support was found for the preservation-under-transformation hypothesis, suggesting that effectiveness of storage during concurrent information…

Peer reviewedLawson, Anton E.; Clark, Brian; Cramer-Meldrum, Erin; Falconer, Kathleen A.; Sequist, Jeffrey M.; Kwon, Yong-Ju – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2000
Tests the hypothesis that two general developmentally-based levels of hypothesis-testing skills exist. Finds a positive relationship between level of hypothesis-testing skill and performance on a transfer problem involving the test of a hypothesis based on unobservable entities. Also finds a positive relationship between level of…

Peer reviewedEflin, Juli T.; Kite, Mary E. – Teaching of Psychology, 1996
Describes a teaching activity that improves students' scientific reasoning by focusing attention on the causal, explanatory nature of psychological theories. Students learn and use an argument form called Inference to the Best Explanation (IBE). Includes examples of this technique and student responses to the course. (MJP)

Peer reviewedKatz, Richard S.; Eagles, Munroe – PS: Political Science and Politics, 1996
Constructs a model that explains a large fraction of the variance in political science departmental rankings. Divides the objective predictors into two sets: one reflecting faculty quality ratings of department members, the other the effects of circumstances beyond a department's control. This model works well with most social science disciplines.…
