Are the Notion of Mean and Related Concepts Too Difficult for 6th and 7th Grade Biology Students?
Dreyfus, Amos; Levy, Osnat
European Journal of Teacher Education, v19 n2 p137-52 1996
This study examined how upper elementary biology students grasped the concepts of mean and deviation from mean and the implications of these concepts. Pretesting and posttesting of students who did and did not have computer assisted training in the concepts indicated that though most students failed in more difficult tasks, experimental students progressed more than comparison students.
