Agustian, Hendra Y. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
This article seeks to provide researchers and practitioners in laboratory education, particularly those involved in the curriculum design and implementation of teaching laboratories at university level, with a conceptual framework and a working model for an integrated assessment of learning domains, by attending to a more holistic approach to…

Seni, Dan Alexander – Science & Education, 2012
Our purpose in this paper is to try to make a significant contribution to the analysis of cognitive capabilities of the organization of active social systems such as the business enterprise by re-examining the concepts of organizational intelligence, organizational memory and organizational learning in light of the findings of modern neuroscience.…

Kavanaugh, Robert D.; Moomaw, William R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1981
Addresses whether college chemistry instruction should begin at the concrete level of Piagetian cognitive development and what procedures can be used to induce abstract or formal thinking among those students who have not progressed beyond the concrete level. (CS)

Ward, Charles R.; Herron, J. Dudley – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1980
Investigated outcomes of the use of the learning cycle, which divides instruction into the Piagetian phases of exploration, invention, and discovery in general college chemistry laboratory experiments. Differences between concrete and formal operational students were explored in students' ability to master chemistry material varying in cognitive…

Niaz, Mansoor; Robinson, William R. – 1991
It has been shown previously that many students solve chemistry problems using only algorithmic strategies and do not understand the chemical concepts on which the problems are based. It is plausible to suggest that if the information is presented in differing formats the cognitive demand of a problem changes. The main objective of this study…

Blosser, Patricia E., Ed.; Helgeson, Stanley L., Ed. – Investigations in Science Education, 1985
Abstracts and abstractors' critiques are presented for six studies dealing with concept formation and misconceptions and for five studies dealing with cognitive development. The first six studies investigated: children's naive conceptions of the human body; students' understanding (or misunderstanding) of states of matter and density changes; the…

Carmichael, J. W., Jr.; And Others – Journal of Developmental & Remedial Education, 1979
Describes a general chemistry course taught at Xavier University (Louisiana), designed for both well-prepared and educationally disadvantaged students. Lists course materials, outlines course structure, identifies 12 aspects of course content, and discusses student evaluation. (JM)

Forys, Elizabeth A.; Kelly, William B.; Ward, David T. – American Biology Teacher, 2003
Describes a laboratory activity on invasion biology to improve students' cognitive skills as well as manual skills. Requires students to develop hypotheses in which a common invasive species will succeed. Focuses on the red imported fire ant in the Southeastern United States, which is a non-native invasive species. (Contains 17 references.) (YDS)

Staver, John R. – School Science and Mathematics, 1984
The goal of this article is to identify and disseminate several important messages from recent research on formal thought. Reasoning by adolescents, measurement of Piagetian formal reasoning, the importance of additional factors, stages, and working memory are discussed. (MNS)

Kvasz, Ladislav – Science and Education, 1997
Provides teachers with some ideas about the development of physical knowledge to make them more receptive to the differences between their own and their students' thinking. Illustrates an adapted version of Piaget's model of the growth of physical knowledge using the development of classical mechanics. Contains 12 references. (Author/JRH)

Hoffer, Terry; And Others – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1992
The measurement of the affective (qualitative) influences of computer-assisted interactive video instruction on the learner and attendant enhancements for the overall learning experience are highlighted. Formal factors considered are interactivity via buttons and other event-oriented objects, hypertext, semantic memory, and successive…

Hwang, Bao-tyan; Liu, Yuan-sheng – 1994
In an effort to investigate the effects of a teaching strategy that helps students to identify concept conflicts through experimentation and guided investigation on students' conceptual changes and learning outcomes, 596 students (393 junior high school, 170 senior high school, and 33 college students) were administered two solution tests…

Anderson, Charles W.; And Others – 1986
The processes of photosynthesis and respiration are basic to the understanding of many other aspects and functions of biological systems. Because of their curricular significance, these processes served as the focal point in an investigation of student conceptions and instructional effectiveness. In this study, students in a college nonscience…
