Reasoning Patterns of Preservice Elementary and Middle School Science Teachers.
Garnett, Patrick J.; Tobin, Kenneth
Science Education, v68 n5 p621-31 Oct 1984
Determined that the majority of 299 preservice teachers did not use formal reasoning patterns when they attempted to solve a variety of problems. Results obtained for controlling variables and for proportional, probabilistic, correlational, and combinatorial reasoning are discussed with implications for middle/junior high school science teaching.
