Dalton, Bridget; Morocco, Catherine Cobb; Tivnan, Terrence; Mead, Penelope L. Rawson
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v30 n6 p670-84 Nov-Dec 1997
This study compared effects of two approaches to hands-on science, supported inquiry science (SIS) and activity-based science, in six urban and two suburban fourth-grade general education classrooms involving 172 students, 33 of whom had learning disabilities (LD). The study found that students with and without LD demonstrated greater concept learning in the SIS classrooms. (Author/DB)
