The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the use of two different modes of instruction, standardized versus computer simulation on the understanding of the nature of science and attitudes toward science in seventh grade students.


A Model For Incrementally Transforming The Science Classroom From Traditional Instruction To Inquiry, Tana Michelle Jerome Jan 2006

A Model For Incrementally Transforming The Science Classroom From Traditional Instruction To Inquiry, Tana Michelle Jerome

Theses Digitization Project

Explores the implementation of inquiry into the science classroom and presents a model for incrementally changing the traditional (behavioralist) instruction found in the science class to inquiry-based (constructivist) instructional strategies.


A New Model Of Evolution Education For Middle School Science, Walter Lee Owen Jan 2006

A New Model Of Evolution Education For Middle School Science, Walter Lee Owen

Theses Digitization Project

Proposes a new model for teaching inquiry and critical thinking in the middle school science classroom. This model will assist students in learning the evidence for evolution for themselves, as well as assisting them in developing skills in critical thinking and inquiry. The objective of this model is to create a more scientifically literate student body who can go on to pursue an even greater understanding of the nature of science.
