Duan, Bing; Hosseini, Habib Mir M.; Ling, Keck Voon; Gay, Robert Kheng Leng – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2006
Internet-based learning systems, or e-learning, are widely available in institutes, universities, and industrial companies, hosting regular or continuous education programs. The dream of teaching and learning from anywhere and at anytime becomes a reality due to the construction of e-learning infrastructure. Traditional teaching materials and…

Doane, William E. J.; Rice, Rebekah R.; Zachos, Paul – Science Teacher, 2006
This article describes an alternative way of testing--a performance assessment--that is different both in process and goals from typical tests, but closer to what teachers believe assessment should be. Teachers who have helped to create, refine, and use this new generation of tests find them valuable because they measure the skills and concepts…

Oller, Anna R. – American Biology Teacher, 2006
Forensic science courses encompasses the disciplines of biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics, which provides an opportunity for students to become engaged in all content areas within one course. The inquiry-based learning environment allows visualization of results almost immediately, facilitating student interest. The laboratory…

Lucas, Jeffrey W.; Graif, Corina; Lovaglia, Michael J. – Social Psychology Quarterly, 2006
Prosecutorial misconduct involves the intentional use of illegal or improper methods for attaining convictions against defendants in criminal trials. Previous research documented extensive errors in the prosecution of severe crimes. A theory formulated to explain this phenomenon proposes that in serious cases, increased pressure to convict…

Basson, Alex; Krantz, Steven G.; Thornton, Blake – PRIMUS, 2006
To help students understand the real-world applications of calculus, our calculus students all take part in a lab. This is not another "computer lab" but a lab where the students perform experiments and then collect and analyze the data. The students are able to verify for themselves many of physical claims that are left as theory in…

Burke, K. A.; Greenbowe, Thomas J.; Hand, Brian M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2006
The Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) is an instructional technique that combines inquiry, collaborative learning, and writing to change the nature of the chemistry laboratory for students and instructors. The SWH provides a format for students to guide their discussions, their thinking, and writing about how science activities relate to their own…

Diederen, Julia; Gruppen, Harry; Hartog, Rob; Voragen, Alphons G. J. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2006
Laboratory classes are regarded as an important learning activity, but they also have shortcomings: laboratory classes are often an inefficient learning activity for students and often do not sufficiently support students in developing research specific cognitive skills. It is hypothesized that some of such skills can be achieved more effectively…

Kanare, Howard M. – 1985
The purpose of this book is to teach the principles of proper scientific notekeeping. The principles presented in this book are goals for which working scientists must strive. Chapter 1, "The Reasons for Notekeeping," is an overview of the process of keeping a laboratory notebook. Chapter 2, "The Hardware of Notekeeping," is intended especially…

Center for Occupational Research and Development, Inc., Waco, TX. – 1983
Unified Technical Concepts (UTC) is a modular system for teaching applied physics in two-year postsecondary programs. This UTC classroom textbook, consisting of 14 chapters, deals with physics for technicians. Addressed in the individual chapters of the guide are the following topics: force, work, rate, momentum, resistance, power, potential and…

Ead, J.; Devonald, V. G. – Journal of Biological Education, 1975
Describes a single technique for an enzyme assay of catalase. The method shows that vegetable seeds submitted to pre-sowing 'hardening' cycles of imbition and drying have greater catalase activity and more rapid germination than do the controls. (LS)

Leyden, Michael B. – Science Activities, 1975
Describes an inquiry procedure to determine whether soft drinks are pressure or vacuum packed and then utilizes the "pop" theme for several other science activities. (LS)

Hunt, G. R. A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1976
Presents a set of integrated experiments for the undergraduate inorganic chemistry laboratory, designed with the belief that a related set of syntheses, reactions, and characterization techniques sums to a greater learning experience than an equal number of unrelated experiments. (MLH)
