Development And Implementation Of A Program To Foster Scientific Inquiry Among Ninth Grade Science Students, Linda S. Sparks
Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive
The deficiency among ninth grade science students to think scientifically and the lack of resource materials to teach the skills of scientific inquiry prompted the development and imp implementation of a comprehensive unit of study, “The Scientific Method.” Inductively, this module forced the target students to think scientifically and thereby discover the process of scientific investigation. The program was deemed successful based on the results of post-test scores compared to pre-test scores. These results indicated increased levels of scientific literacy at the analysis. synthesis and evaluation levels of knowledge among the target group. Appendices include the entire module with answer …

The high percentage of students with difficulty in solving free-response problems related to the mole concept was addressed by implementation of reading skill strategies and computer aided instruction. Frayer models, semantic mapping and graphic organizers from Reading in the Content Area (RICA) were employed to increase student understanding of the scientific principles involved. Computers and a variety of computer programs from COMPress and Knowledge Factory were used by the target group for review, drill, and practice in relating their math skills to solving problems. The results indicated a considerable increase in the ability to solve problems related to the mole …
