Student Achievement and Attitudes in a Pilot Study Comparing an Interactive Videodisc Simulation to Conventional Dissection.

Peer reviewed

Strauss, Richard T.; Kinzie, Mable B. – American Biology Teacher, 1994

Many assert that the use of animals for dissections in the secondary and undergraduate class is unnecessary. This article describes a study conducted to compare the attitudes and achievement of students who use interactive methods instead of conventional dissection. (ZWH)

Hi-Tech Alternatives to Dissection.

Peer reviewed

Strauss, Richard T.; Kinzie, Mable B. – American Biology Teacher, 1991

The debate on the educational value of dissection versus the value of animal life is examined. Interactive videodisc (IVD) technology is described in light of its potential for laboratory simulations. The design of the IVD-based dissection simulation, The Interactive Frog Dissection, is presented. (KR)
