Correlation of Selected Affective Behaviors with Cognitive Performance in a Biology Course for Elementary Teachers

Simpson, Ronald D.; Wasik, John L.

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 15, 1, 65-71, Jan 78

The study attempted to determine if: 1) achievement test scores in biology course for elementary teachers would be predicted by precourse preference for biology and science and student behavior as measured by in-class affective behaviors; and 2) postcourse preference for science and biology would be predicted by achievement-test scores. Support was found for the first hypothesis. (CP)
