A Study of the Relationship between Concept Emphasis in High School Biology Textbooks and Achievement Levels.
Cho, Hee-Hyung; Kahle, Jane Butler
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v21 n7 p725-33 Oct 1984
This study demonstrated a direct relationship between achievement level (measured by responses to biological items on the 1977 National Assessment of Educational Progress's science survey) and concept emphasis in biology textbooks. In addition, recommendations of Project Synthesis were not found in newer biology textbooks. Other findings are reported and discussed. (JN)
