Bowen, Barbara L.
Science Education, 59, 3, 423-430, Jul-Sep 75
Suggests that the absence of conceptually based research in science education may derive from an attempt to conduct scientific research based on misperceptions of the nature of science and an inability to identify a suitable conceptual model. Suggests that Ausubel's model of meaningful learning may serve as a candidate for a science education research paradigm. (MLH)
