- Abstract
The article investigates the effect of systematically combined knowledge and higher than knowledge level cognitive objectives on the acquisition of science learning in an inquiry environment that is full of potential for higher level cognitive functioning. A number of individual differences have been found to interact with objectives. Evidences garnered from behavioral statements can be used to cross-check subjective judgments regarding the acquisition of more complex, more generalizable and higher level goals of learning. Under inquiry-oriented instructional sequences, which are intended to elicit both knowledge and higher than knowledge cognitive functioning, the use of behaviorally-stated learning facilitates immediate learning.
