An Evaluation of the Use of Student-Centred Investigations in Teaching Comparative Animal Physiology to Undergraduates.
Spicer, John I.; Bonsall, Marie
Research in Science and Technological Education, v13 n1 p25-35 May 1995
Taught comparative animal physiology to undergraduates (n=31) using student-centered (open-ended) investigations in small groups. Questionnaires and discussion found that students appeared to value learning through their own experience as highly as they did being taught and valued the opportunity to establish and develop skills less easily acquired through closed-ended courses. Contains questionnaire. (22 references) (Author/MKR)
