Science Curriculum Effects in High School: A Quantitative Synthesis.
Weinstein, Thomas; And Others
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v19 n6 p511-22 Sep 1982
Science curriculum evaluation studies (1963-1978) were examined to assess impact of innovative curricula compared with traditional curricula on student learning outcomes. Results suggest students in secondary school science courses scored moderately better than students in traditional courses on innovative and neutral tests and negligibly lower on tests favoring traditional science content.
