Sabar, Naama; Kaplan, Eugene H. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1978
Investigated was the adequacy of a teaching-learning model for improving the level of achievement and attitudes of culturally deprived children in heterogeneous classes, while offering adequate learning opportunity to those who were not deprived. A seventh grade biology course on aquatic zoo ecology was developed for this model. (Author/HM)

Strage, Amy A.; Bol, Linda – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1996
Analyzes ways in which biology is taught by experienced teachers and discusses contexts in which specific teaching strategies seemed successful. Analyses of teachers' responses reveals complex relationships among their perception of what was distinctive about their biology program and students, allocation of class time, efforts to individualize…

Douglass, Claudia B.; Kahle, Jane B. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1977
Reports on an investigation in which topics in genetics and probability were taught to students divided along the Piagetian dimension of field-indepent (FI) and field-dependent (FD) ability. Two teaching strategies, inductive (IND) and a deductive (DED) approaches, were used. Retention scores revealed that regardless of strategy experienced, FI…

Sheehan, Daniel S.; Hambleton, Ronald K. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1977
Examines regression analysis of 12 aptitude measures and an achievement criterion measure in a study of 285 ninth-grade science students who were randomly assigned to one of four individualized programs: teacher-directed treatment, media treatment, reading treatment, and programmed instruction treatment. (MLH)

Melton, Larry; Humphreys, Donald – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1980
Supports prediction of success in self-paced, individualized science classes by measuring student self-image by means of the Q-sort test. Alternative school students who had completed an acceptable number of minicourses by the end of the year scored higher on the Q-sort. (CS)

Fraser, Barry J.; Butts, William L. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
Relationships between levels of classroom individualization (personalization, participation, independence, investigation, and differentiation) and seven science-related attitudes of junior high school students (N=712) were examined. The study also provided support for the reliability and validity of the two instruments used and for their general…

Hofmeister, Alan M.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1989
Discussed is the conceptualization, development, and formative evaluation of a series of science education videodiscs. The formative data indicated that videodisc programs can enhance the effectiveness of teachers and substantively impact student achievement and attitudes. (Author/CW)

Humphreys, Barbara; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
Effects on students' (N=44) achievement and attitudes of cooperative, competitive, and individualistic instruction were compared in ninth-grade physical science classes. Results indicate that cooperative learning experiences promoted mastery and retention of material being taught as well as moreover positive attitudes toward the experience than…
