An Investigation of Students' Prior Experience with Laboratory Practicals and Report-Writing.
Kaunda, L.; Ball, D.
South African Journal of Higher Education, v12 n1 p130-40 1998
A study of 723 University of Cape Town (South Africa) physics students investigated their prior experience with laboratory procedures and technical report writing. Results suggest that, although students are generally aware of the importance of these elements of learning, school experience with teaching of scientific concepts and skills is often limited and ineffectual. Curricular and instructional implications are considered. (Author/MSE)
