Russ, Rosemary S.; Scherr, Rachel E.; Hammer, David; Mikeska, Jamie – Science Education, 2008
Science education reform has long focused on assessing student inquiry, and there has been progress in developing tools specifically with respect to experimentation and argumentation. We suggest the need for attention to another aspect of inquiry, namely "mechanistic reasoning." Scientific inquiry focuses largely on understanding causal…
