A Content Analysis of General Chemistry Laboratory Manuals for Evidence of Higher-Order Cognitive Tasks.
Domin, Daniel S.
Journal of Chemical Education, v76 n1 p109-12 Jan 1999
Analyzes undergraduate general-chemistry laboratory manuals (n=10) and identifies illustrative verbs representative of the types of cognitive skills given in Bloom's Taxonomy. Finds that, although the majority of the manuals are similar in their lack of promoting higher-order cognition, a few newer manuals possess the requisite activities for cognitive growth. Contains 22 references. (WRM)
