Student Misconceptions Of Osmosis And Diffusion, Erica J. Mcknight
Student Misconceptions Of Osmosis And Diffusion, Erica J. Mcknight
Theses : Honours
Student misconceptions about two fundamental science concepts, osmosis and diffusion, were elicited using an interview-about-events approach. A concept map and list of 25 propositional statements were used to define the knowledge regarded as important for a sound understanding of the concepts of osmosis and diffusion. The interview probed students’ understandings of the propositions. Eighteen students from a local metropolitan high school were interviewed. These students were selected from four different science classes. Nine students studied Year 12 Biology and nine studied Year 12 Human Biology. Diffusion and osmosis are integral concepts required for thorough understanding of both subjects. The interview-about-events …

A Study Of Biology Teaching In The State Of Washington – 1959 Versus 1965, Bert E. Thompson
All Master's Theses
It was the purpose of this study to (1) determine the scope and teaching methods used in biology courses in the State of Washington in 1965; (2) to determine the factors which influenced the scope and methods; (3) to compare the scope and methods with similar data collected in 1959; and (4) to determine if changes that occurred gave evidence of trends.

A Study Of Critical Incidents Relating To Effective Instruction In Secondary School Physics, Chemistry, And Biology, Ernest Solomon Palmer
All Master's Theses
The purpose of this study is twofold. First, to compile a list of factors aiding in the effectiveness of instruction in secondary school chemistry, physics, and biology classes, and second, to determine whether or not these factors aiding effectiveness have elements in common. The problem will then be to characterize these common elements.
