Peer reviewedRonning, Royce R.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1984
Examined field dependence/independence in the context of other variables for its value in providing a clearer understanding of the problem-solving process. Results from 150 students indicate that field independent students significantly out-performed field dependent students on the six problems administered. (JN)

Peer reviewedNiaz, Mansoor; Robinson, William R. – Research in Science and Technological Education, 1992
Compares performances of students on gas-law problems that require two distinct approaches, either the algorithmic technique or the conceptual gestalt. Indicates that student effectiveness is considerably different utilizing each approach and that training or experience with the algorithm process should not be expected to facilitate the…
