- Title
CONTENT CENTERED VS. PROCESS CENTERED BIOLOGY LABORATORIES: PART IV: THE RELATIONSHIP OF HIGH SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENT TO SUCCESS.
- Authors
Murphy, Glenn W.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the examination of the relationship of academic achievement to success in content centered and process centered biology laboratories. Significantly, the effects of the differential treatments were ascertained through the analysis of results on pre test and post test administration of various educational tests and measurements. The relationship of academic achievement to success are ascertained through the computation of correlation coefficient between quantitative estimates of high school achievement and student scores. The results of the study reveals that high school achievement cannot be used as a basis for predicting success in process-centered laboratories. The conclusions presented in the study support certain recommendations regarding the laboratory experience to be associated with general laboratory course for college freshmen.
