- Title
THE RELATIVE EFFICIENCY OF READING AND DEMONSTRATION METHODS OF INSTRUCTION IN DEVELOPING SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDINGS.
- Authors
Boeck, Clarence H.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the effectiveness of reading and demonstration methods of instruction in developing the scientific understandings of science students. This method is supplemented by discussion, reading and the opportunity for individual laboratory experimentation. In promoting learning and doing science rather than learning about science, the use of an inductive approach to science instruction is recommended in order to develop the ability to use the methods of science with accompanying scientific attitudes. In addition, combining teacher demonstration method of instruction and inductive approach constitutes sound science instruction.
