Just Asking
How do different science lab models affect student achievement and attitude toward the study of science?
Research Brief from the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development
Science labs at both the secondary and collegiate levels can take the form of either a "cookbook" course (a highly structured, step-by-step procedure designed to illustrate established knowledge) or an "inquiry-based" course (structured so that students develop and test their own hypotheses relative to specific questions). Which is more effective for student achievement and attitude?
