Barman, Charles R.
School Science and Mathematics, v92 n2 p59-63 Feb 1992
Presents a study to determine the effects of introducing methods students to the "learning cycle" technique on their ability to adapt science textbooks to the method and employ it in their teaching. Interviews of 24 randomly selected students out of 48 participants indicated that 75 percent used the approach while student teaching and found it helpful in planning lessons. (MDH)
