In this study, integration of art and science instruction was applied in an experimental computer art graphics class, as undergraduates learned geological concepts and processes through creating computer art graphics. The qualitative study concerning students' perception of integrative instruction was made from the students' point of view.…

Students' views of science as static, mixed, and dynamic are characterized. The relationship between views of science and acquisition of integrated understanding of thermodynamics is examined. Students with dynamic views acquired more integrated understanding than those with static views. Data were collected from 153 middle school students who…

An instructional program was constructed that explored the responses and perceptions of preservice elementary school teachers while finding and using characteristics to construct categories or concepts.
