Cognitive Preferences in Biology of a Group of Talented High School Students
Tamir, Pinchas; Lunetta, Vincent N.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 15, 1, 59-64, Jan 78
Reports on the administration of a biology cognitive preference test to 177 science-oriented high school students. Subjects were asked to rank responses or "extension statements" to items according to their preference. It was found that the high-ability students as a group had a very high preference for questioning and low preference for recall. Correlations between cognitive preferences and biographical variables were also investigated. (CP)
