A Cross-Cultural Study of Piagetian Concrete Reasoning and Science Concepts Among Rural Fifth-Grade Mexican- and Anglo-American Students
Brown, R. Lloyd; And Others
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 14, 4, 329-34, Jul 77
Scores on a 30 item Piagetian test were used to predict: (1) Subject's surname (Spanish vs. non-Spanish); (2) Subject's language (Spanish spoken at home or not spoken at home); (3) Subject's letter grade in science, and (4) Subjects score on a science test. Anglo-American subjects were found to achieve significantly higher than did Mexican-Americans on the Science and Piagetian Tests. One hundred-fifty fifth grade students were tested in the study. (CP)
