Stronck, David R.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v20 n4 p283-90 Apr 1983
Investigated attitudes and learning of students (N=816) in 31 museum tours. Concluded that students (grades 5-7) had greater cognitive learning when participating in structured tours (led by museum docent). However, more positive attitudes were found when students participated in less structured tours lead by their classroom teacher. (JN)
