Ivany, George – Sci Educ, 1969
Presents procedures, results, and conclusions of two studies designed to determine (a) whether any relationship exists between the amount and kind of information available to students and the kind of verbal behavior elicited in problem solution, and (b) if differential effects are created by visual as opposed to kinesthetic stimulus materials.…

Anderson, Ronald D.; And Others – 1970
Reported is a study of the efficacy of mutually aided learning in science, defined as the systematic and long term use of high school students in an instructional role in elementary school science classes. A group of five or six high school juniors or seniors served as instructors in an elementary school science class, with each high school…

Nicholson, Charles Lemuel – 1969
Thirty-one cerebral palsied children at the third grade level were taught a science unit on weather and climate. An experimental group (randomly assigned) received instruction via closed circuit television and earphones, and the control group viewed and heard the instructor directly. A microphone in front of each child in the experimental group…

Smith, George F. – 1969
Twenty-four teachers, from a school system not using the new elementary science programs, taught representative new units to 544 students, with variations in their inservice training and the amount of classroom science equipment provided. Classrooms at three grade levels (1, 3, and 6) were used twice under opposing conditions. For each unit, the…

Struthers, Joseph A. – 1969
Reported is a variety of studies associated with the development of new elementary science programs in the Boulder Valley School District. Three approaches to elementary science were given field trials, one using textbooks based on a conceptual schemes approach, one based on the Elementary Science Study materials, and the other based on the…

Wilson, John H.; Renner, John W. – J Res Sci Teaching, 1969
Presents the procedures, results, and conclusions of a study designed to investigate and analyze the teaching procedures of two groups of elementary science teachers. Observations of science lessons taught by 15 SCIS-trained teachers and 15 non-SCIS-trained teachers revealed significant differences in the number of "science experiences …

Hardy, Donald William – 1967
Investigated was whether the opportunity to participate in discovery learning by means of an archaeological "dig" significantly enhances the development in sixth grade pupils of concepts and principles of archaeology and anthropology as compared with using the same data with conventional instructional procedures in a standard classroom situation.…

Kolb, John Ronald – 1968
Analyzed were two instructional sequences in mathematics. One was based on a hierarchy of mathematical tasks assumed necessary for selected quantitative science behaviors. The other was based on an instructional sequenc e in mathematics not directly related to the science behaviors. Two science exercises were developed having three quantitative…

Pagano, Arnold Robert – 1970
Reported is a study to determine by comparison the effects of the following teaching strategies: (1) statements of science concepts by a teacher verbalized either initially in the lesson presentation or in a final summary statement, (2) final summary statements of science concepts verbalized by either teachers or pupils, and (3) statements of…

DECKER, MARTIN GEORGE – 1965
INVESTIGATED WERE DIFFERENCES IN AMOUNT AND QUALITY OF LEARNING WHEN TWO DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO TEACHING PROBLEM-SOLVING AND INFORMATION-GIVING WERE USED IN TELEVISION-AIDED INSTRUCTION IN THE NATURAL SCIENCES. INVOLVED WERE 36 RANDOMLY SELECTED FIFTH-GRADE CLASSES, AND 36 TEACHERS. TWO DIFFERENT SERIES OF TELEVISION PROGRAMS, AND TWO DIFFERENT…

Gerne, Timothy A., Jr. – 1967
Textbook teaching and the Essex Electrical Board (EEB) were compared for relative teaching effectiveness. Student and teacher attitudes toward the EEB were also analyzed. A pre- and post-test were administered to both the experimental and control groups, in the same school, at six week intervals. The experimental group, using the EEB, consisted of…

Netburn, Allan N. – 1972
The study describes the effectiveness of teaching as prescribed by the Conceptually Oriented Program in Elementary Science (COPES) program compared to an audio-tutorial approach at the fourth grade level. The experimental group covered the COPES content but with audio-tutorial materials prepared by the investigator. No significant differences were…

Wise, Ronald Clarence – 1970
The purpose of this study was to assess and compare achievement of students who were taught science by three different approaches: direct experience (T-1), outdoor classroom (T-2), and indoor classroom (T-3). In addition, the number of students making observations of the outdoor environment for each treatment group was analyzed. The specific…
