Borron, Roberta – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1978
Examines how the performance of eight first-grade deaf students was modified by Science- A Process Approach. Applying Chi square analysis to individual performances showed that seven of the eight children achieved significant achievement gain. It is concluded that student learning is not dependent on language ability. (HM)

Stevens, J. Truman; Atwood, Ronald K. – Science Education, 1978
Investigates the relationship between science interest and process achievement for seventh, eighth and ninth graders. Results reveal that: (1) science interests are significant predictors of process achievement for only ninth-graders; and (2) science interest scores decrease significantly from pre to posttest across grade levels.
