Head, J. O. – School Science Review, 1975
Describes a survey in which one thousand British undergraduates who had studied one or more Nuffield A-Level single sciences were identified; both they and their teachers were asked about the influence of this experience on their university performance. The survey revealed definite approval for the Nuffield schemes. (MLH)

Wood, R.; Ferguson, Carolyn M. – School Science Review, 1975
Discusses a two-year assessment undertaken to evaluate the Nuffield A-Level chemistry course. Secondary teachers selected chemistry experiments for assessment purposes and assessed their students in manipulative skills, observational skills, interpretation skills, creative skills, and attitudes. (MLH)

Tamir, P.; Jungwirth, E. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1975
A battery of tests was administered to three groups of high school students who studied the Israel Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) Adaptation Program for several years. Compared with non-BSCS students, the progress of the BSCS students in biological knowledge, inquiry skills, and understanding of science demonstrates the feasibility of…

Weinstein, Thomas; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1982
Science curriculum evaluation studies (1963-1978) were examined to assess impact of innovative curricula compared with traditional curricula on student learning outcomes. Results suggest students in secondary school science courses scored moderately better than students in traditional courses on innovative and neutral tests and negligibly lower on…

Lancaster Univ. (England). – 1975
This report summarizes an investigation to determine whether the outcome of examinations can be used as an aid to a continuous process of curriculum development, using the Nuffield A-level Chemistry Course and its system of assessment as a sample system. A description of the course and examination is followed by an explanation of how the data were…

Dowd, Anne; Dekkers, John – Journal of Biological Education, 1980
The Australian Web of Life biology course is evaluated as to its philosophy and mode of instruction. The study reveals that the use of inquiry-oriented practices is relatively low and that teachers consider the objectives of the course more important than do their classes. (Author/DS)

Lawrenz, Frances; Gullickson, Arlen – 1973
A comparison of CHEM Study and traditional chemistry classes showed no difference in student achievement in chemistry. The curricula did not have a differential effect on high vs. low ability groups. However, a difference in student attitude toward CHEM study and the traditional text, "Modern Chemistry," was observed. The students found…
