Norris, Stephen P. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1985
As an alternative guide to science teaching, a generalized theory of scientific observation defined in terms of human intentions and purposes is offered.

Ritchie, Stephen M. – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2008
In this essay I comment on Stetsenko's (2008) essay that draws together the work of Vygotsky, Piaget and Dewey, as she attempts to counter the "new" reductionist synthesis in public educational policy. While this theoretical work is helpful, it could be enhanced further by illuminating everyday practices of learners. I pose some questions that…

Yager, Robert E.; Yager, Stuart O. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1985
The meanings of eight science terms (volume, organism, motion, energy, molecule, cell, enzyme, fossil) were studied by 9-, 13-, and 17-year-olds. Results indicate that the schools were ineffective in increasing numbers of students who mastered these terms between seventh and eleventh grade. Reasons for this finding are discussed. (Author/JN)
