Clark, Douglas B.; Slotta, James D.
International Journal of Science Education, v22 n8 p859-71 Aug 2000

Explores the question of how source authority and media-enhancements impact students' interpretation of evidence as they conduct a Knowledge Integration Environment (KIE) project as part of integrated science instruction in a culturally diverse high school.
