Palmer, Ray Alonzo – 1966
Studied were selected aspects of the learning process related to biological concepts and the processes leading to their acquisition. Data were obtained using a series of structured interviews based on jury-graded check lists. The population consisted of 36 randomly-selected students from three randomly-selected classes using Green Version BSCS…

Netburn, Allan N. – Science and Children, 1975
Discusses the A-T approach in conjunction with a structured science program, such as COPES, which provides opportunities for independent study and student self-pacing and is a means for increasing student comprehension. This approach can also help absentee students catch up as well as students who enter mid-year. (BR)

Cleare, Bruce Emanuel – 1966
The gain in chemistry knowledge made by high school chemistry students whose cognitive patterns were similar to those of their teachers was compared to the gain of students whose cognitive patterns differed from their teachers'. Seven cognitive factor tests were administered to 13 teachers who were participating in three Chemical Education…

Lawlor, Francis Xavier – 1970
Contained is a review of the research done on the use of verbal rewards in the classroom. Some verbal rewards are tasks rewards, other rewards are more personal; and still other verbal rewards are impersonal. Verbal rewards, therefore, have both intellectual and emotional implications. Research literature indicates that "verbal reward"…

Shayer, Michael – School Science Review, 1978
Assesses the physics, chemistry and biology content of the Nuffield Combined Science Course used in British schools by experimental testing to children's understanding of the course. A model by which the pupils' achievement is mapped to an estimate of their maximum Piagetian level of thinking is presented. (HM)

Bredderman, Ted – Science Education, 1985
Student outcomes were assessed by quantitatively combining results of 57 reported evaluations of three major curriculum programs in elementary school science. Thirty-two percent of the comparisons were statistically significant, favoring activity-based programs; six percent favored control groups. (DH)
