Peer reviewedCampbell, Richard L. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1979
Results of this study indicate that process skills instruction can significantly improve reading comprehension of preservice and in-service teachers. However, the data indicated no significant differences between preservice and in-service teachers' reading comprehension scores after completing process skills instruction. (MA)

Peer reviewedRakow, Steven J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1985
This study: (1) tested the effectiveness of the Model of Educational Productivity for predicting the inquiry skill of 17-year-olds; (2) investigated if the prediction of inquiry differed for males and females; and (3) if the prediction of inquiry skill differed for white and nonwhite students. (JN)

Peer reviewedRazali, Sulaiman N.; Yager, Robert E. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1994
Determines what attributes high school teachers and college professors of chemistry believe to be most important for incoming college students. Teachers and professors ranked examples of traditional chemistry knowledge and personal traits in order of importance. Chemistry professors ranked student personal attributes as most important, whereas…

Direct linkGijlers, Hannie; de Jong, Ton – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2005
In this study we investigate how prior knowledge influences knowledge development during collaborative discovery learning. Fifteen dyads of students (pre-university education, 15-16 years old) worked on a discovery learning task in the physics field of kinematics. The (face-to-face) communication between students was recorded and the interaction…
