A Comparative Analysis of the Perceived Influence of Advanced Placement and Honors Programs upon Science Instruction.
Herr, Norman Edward
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v29 n5 p521-32 May 1992
Contrasts the traditional honors program and the Advanced Placement program of the College Entrance Examination Board using the self-reports of 155 high school science teachers experienced in both programs. Examines the perceived influences of each program format upon the use of basic teaching techniques, laboratory experiences, pacing of the course, curricular freedom, and student activity.
