Duke, Reese Dale – 1966
These materials, called "Springboards for Discussion," were designed to fit certain topics in the BSCS Blue Version textbook, "Biological Science: Molecules to Man," and to be presented by teachers using an overhead projector or magnetic audio-tapes, or both. The twelve "Springboards for Discussion" were used in first…

Brown, Terrance Ralph – 1967
Analyzed were attitudes toward science and critical thinking skills of chemistry and non-chemistry students. One hundred and fifty-three chemistry students and 149 non-chemistry students were randomly selected for the study. Criterion tests used were the "Cornell Critical Thinking Test, Form X" and the "Reaction Inventory, Attitudes…

Tanner, Richard Thomas – 1968
Principles of mechanics and simple machines were taught to 14 ninth-grade general science classes. Three treatments were used: (1) an Expository-Deductive program in which the subject reads the statement and explanation of a principle before working with example frames illustrating that principle; (2) a Discovery-Inductive program in which the…

Peer reviewedOmizo, Michael M. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1980
This study examined (1) the predictive validity of the Differential Aptitude Tests (DAT) relative to the engineering, mathematics, and science grades and cumulative grade point averages of high school seniors in engineering; and (2) the differential validity of the eight DAT scales in comparing high and low achievers.
