Instruction Addressing the Components of Scientific Literacy and Its Relation to Student Outcomes.
Mitman, Alexis L.; And Others
American Educational Research Journal, v24 n4 p611-33 Win 1987

Results indicate a gap between scientific literacy as a normative goal of science instruction and current teaching practice. (TJH)
