Peer reviewedDowd, 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)
