Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hasson, Eilat; Yarden, Anat – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2012
Inquiry is essentially a process in which research questions are asked and an attempt is made to find the answers. However, the formulation of operational research questions of the sort used in authentic scientific inquiry is not a trivial task. Here, we set out to explore the possible influence of separating the research question from the…

A Comprehensive Use of Concept Mapping in Design Instruction and Assessment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Barenholz, Hanna; Tamir, Pinchas – Research in Science and Technological Education, 1992
Describes the use of concept mapping (CM) in design, instruction, and assessment related to microbiology lessons prepared for high school students in Israel. Indicates that students utilizing CM displayed an overall, higher achievement gain than students in traditional classes. Recognizes that some teachers did not thoroughly exploit the potential…
