Benefiting from an Open-Ended Experiment? A Comparison of Attitudes to, and Outcomes of, an Expository versus an Open-Inquiry Version of the Same Experiment.
Berg, C. Anders R.; Bergendahl, V. Christina B.; Lundberg, Bruno K. S.; Tibell, Lena A. E.
International Journal of Science Education, v25 n3 p351-72 Mar 2003
Compares outcomes of open-inquiry and expository versions of a chemistry laboratory experiment at the university level. Investigates whether the two versions would result in different outcomes depending upon students' attitudes towards learning. Indicates that the open-inquiry version shows the most positive outcomes, and students with low attitude position needed more support to meet the challenges of open-inquiry experiments. (Author/KHR)
