Description of the Book:

Designed to examine the key factors that characterize effective science instruction, this particular volume of the Intermediate Life Science Study portrays the ways in which 11 teachers taught two topics in seventh grade life science. The participating teachers were volunteers from schools in the greater San Francisco Bay area and from the greater Salt Lake City area. Information obtained in the study consisted of: (1) initial student and teacher characteristics; (2) classroom process variables which included teachers’ perceptions of and practices during instruction; and (3) outcome variables as measures of student knowledge, cognitive skills, and attitudes. A summary of teacher characteristics is provided as to: gender; highest degree; degree specialization; total years teaching; class size; and subject matter for the observed classes. Profiles are presented of the teachers’ approach to the selected topics; examples of instructional activities are described that were employed in the classes. (ML
