An Analysis of the Appropriateness and Utilization of TOUS with Special Reference to High-Ability Students Studying Physics
Durkee, Phillip
Science Education, 58, 3, 343-356, Jul-Sep 74
Reported is a study having several major purposes. Among these were (1) to investigate the change in "understanding the nature of science" as shown by high school students studying physics-astronomy at a summer science institute and (2) to compare the level of understanding possessed by the summer science group with normative secondary students, with typical academic-year physics groups, with physics teacher groups, and with other high-ability students studying science.
