The Development of Cognitive Skills To Support Inquiry Learning.

Kuhn, Deanna; Black, John; Keselman, Alla; Kaplan, Danielle

Cognition and Instruction, v18 n4 p495-523 2000

Investigated intervention effects on mental models of multivariable causality in middle school students involved in inquiry learning. Found that inquiry learning promoted a correct mental model based on additive effects of individual features and a meta-strategic understanding of the need to control influences of other features. Also found consistent use of controlled comparison strategy. (JPB)
