- Abstract
The article cites a study which analyzes the relationship among the independent variables of the degree of logical thinking and instructional method, and the dependent variables of earth science achievement at the knowledge and application levels. The study employs eight grade students in suburban middle school in the southwestern part of the U.S. Several models of problem solving are analyzed to identify its practical use for secondary school science teachers. Moreover, the study recommends that problem solving should continue to be a prime focus of research on improving instructional strategies.
