This study investigated the development and evaluation of a computer-augmented science learning game model, through the implementation of a specific game derived from the game model. Formative evaluation strategies were synthesized from two existing evaluation procedures and were tested and applied to the learning resource under development. As a…

The purpose of this study was to experiment with educational cognitive style as a vehicle for providing information to be used to personalize the instruction of ninth-grade biology students. Employed in the study was a conceptual framework called the "Educational Sciences" (as utilized at Oakland Community College in Michigan) which…

This publication examines the role of the science teacher, and how the teacher brings to his work substance, structure, and style. The substance of science and technology consists of two elements: its products, the conceptual schemes and tools which give scientists and laymen their comprehension of the world; and the processes which enable…

This monograph presents a description, along with the purposes, of the Del Mod System. It is described as a system concerned with inducing changes in the existing systems in the area of science education. The investment of time and funds (a National Science Foundation-funded project) is devoted to an alteration of the behavior patterns of…

This monograph presents an updating of a report made in 1969 which led to the development of the Del Mod System. It is an assessment of science education in Delaware. Data presented were collected on site in the schools. Assessment of the science facilities, curriculum, and attitudes was made. Science programs in use in 1974 in the elementary,…

These resource papers encourage the student to discover for himself the contributions to a problem made through original literature. Since some of the papers are controversial or contradict other papers, the student will need to evaluate them to determine his position. It is hoped that these papers will also foster an appreciation of the work of…

This report summarizes an investigation to determine whether the outcome of examinations can be used as an aid to a continuous process of curriculum development, using the Nuffield A-level Chemistry Course and its system of assessment as a sample system. A description of the course and examination is followed by an explanation of how the data were…
