Bischoff, Paul J.

School Science and Mathematics, v102 n4 p181-189 Apr 2002

Describes a project in which preservice elementary teachers (n=30) described the working of a St. Louis motor before and after studying a laboratory unit on magnetism and electricity. Shows that knowledge framework interconnectedness of the post-unit interview was positively correlated. Analyzes in depth the highest and lowest performing students. (Author/MM)
