Taraban, Roman; Box, Cathy; Myers, Russell; Pollard, Robin; Bowen, Craig W. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2007
Active-learning labs for two topics in high school biology were developed through the collaboration of high school teachers and university faculty and staff and were administered to 408 high school students in six classrooms. The content of instruction and testing was guided by State of Texas science objectives. Detailed teacher records describing…
