What Influences Students To Enjoy Introductory Science Laboratories?
Howard, Robert E.; Boone, William J.
Journal of College Science Teaching, v26 n6 p383-87 May 1997
Investigates which factors are important in revising chemistry laboratory experiments to enhance student interest and enjoyment of experimental science. Findings indicate the importance of several factors including varied content, real-world connections, items from outside the student's usual range of experience, well-paced experiments, error-free procedures, easily mastered manipulations, social factors, and a positive atmosphere.
