Decision-Making Theories as Tools for Interpreting Student Behavior during a Scientific Inquiry Simulation.
Aikenhead, Glen S.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v26 n3 p189-203 Mar 1989

Reports that student beliefs at the end of the simulation deviated from group consensus and that the two models could not account for the deviation. (Author/YP)
