The Minds-On Approach: Student Creativity and Personal Involvement in the Undergraduate Science Laboratory.
Schamel, Douglas; Ayres, Matthew P.
Journal of College Science Teaching, v21 n4 p226-29 Feb 1992
Describes how college science laboratory activities can be developed by student teams in which original questions are formulated as testable hypotheses and refined into experimental designs on the basis of personal observations. Distinguishes this "minds-on" approach from traditional college science laboratories with respect to students' concern, preparation, pacing, need for attention, mistakes, and critical thinking. (JJK)
