The Sequence of Learning Cycle Activities in High School Chemistry.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Abraham, Michael R.; Renner, John W. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1986
Different learning cycle sequences were investigated to determine factors accounting for success of the cycle, compared learning with conventional instruction, and examined relationships between Piaget's theory and learning cycles. Results show that the normal learning cycle sequence is the optimum sequence for achievement of content knowledge in…

The Occurrence of Assimilation and Accommodation in Learning High School Physics.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Renner, John W.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1986
Discusses a study which examined the last factor of Piaget's model of intelligence-functioning. Sought to determine if empirical evidence could be formed to support the existence of assimilation, disequilibrium, accommodation, and organization in the learning of physics. Naturalistic data provided support for the Piagetian functioning model of…

The Necessity of Each Phase of the Learning Cycle in Teaching High School Physics.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Renner, John W.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1988
Presents data which leads to the construction of a response to the question of how different phases of the learning cycle influence physics students' content achievement and attitudes. Discusses the importance of the learning cycle in science instruction and the strength of using contrasting techniques (qualitative and quantitative) in research.…
