Aspects of the Nature of Engineering for K-12 Science Education : A Delphi Study

Creator:: Hartman, Brian D.
Abstract:: Recent state and national standards have increased the interest in engineering at the K-12 level. Science standards, in particular, have begun to make the case for including engineering throughout the K-12 scope of study. Despite the increased attention to engineering, the characteristics and uniqueness of the field of engineering are...

A study of the relationship between the elementary science study unit attribute games and problems and the development of divergent-productive thinking in selected elementary school children

Creator:: Huntsberger, John Paul
Abstract:: Acquisition of divergent-productive thinking skills by using elementary science materials constitutes the basic idea of this experiment. The data collected was used to determine statistically if the materials had a significant role in inducing such skills. The Ss were fifth-grade students obtained from two public elementary schools in Oregon. Those...

Evaluation of the influence of multi-level reading materials on the achievement of fifth grade elementary science pupils when placed at reading level by an informal reading inventory

Creator:: Daugs, Donald Roger
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to statistically evaluate the influence of student placement at reading level by means of an informal reading inventory in one kind of elementary science materials. The materials were written at five levels of reading difficulty to better meet the reading ability spread found in...

The influence of primary children's ideas in science on teaching practice

Creator:: Dickinson, Valarie L.
Abstract:: A large body of research has examined how children enter the science classroom with previously formed ideas about the content they will learn. These ideas influence how the child interprets instruction. This study reversed the investigative focus by exploring how children's ideas in science influence teaching. Specifically, the study examined...

Determinants of student intention to engage in laboratory versus non-laboratory science learning behavior

Creator:: Ray, Brian Daniel
Abstract:: The purpose was to gain information about the determinants of student behavior with respect to laboratory (lab) and non-laboratory (non-lab) science learning activities. Fishbein and Ajzen's (1975) theory of reasoned action was used to investigate students' salient beliefs, correlations between determinants of intention, and the relative weights of determinants of...

Evaluation of the implementation of Benin new elementary science curriculum

Creator:: Kouton, Adjoke E. J.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the current status of the implementation of Benin's new elementary science curriculum. The study used the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM), a model designed to evaluate the implementation of educational innovations. Specifically the study attempted to ascertain teachers' concerns about the science curriculum,...

The influence of selected supplementary materials on standardized science achievement scores

Creator:: Frieske, Robert John
Abstract:: The purposes of this study were as follows: (1) to determine if the use of selected supplementary instructional materials, in the form of either computer assisted instruction or additional readings and worksheet presentations, could influence test scores relating to science achievement for fifth grade students, and (2) to determine whether...
