All Other Things Equal: A Study of Science Graduates Solving Control of Variables Problems.
Dawson, Chris J.; Rowell, Jack A.
Research in Science and Technological Education, v4 n1 p49-60 1986
Discusses the responses of science graduates (N=34) to control of variable problems. Two content areas (biological/plants and physical/pendulum) and two formats (experimental planning and data interpretation) were employed in their study. Results suggest that different problems elicit a variety of solution procedures and are affected by prior knowledge. (ML)
