Steven L. Wise; Megan R. Kuhfeld; Marlit Annalena Lindner – Applied Measurement in Education, 2024

Jiang, Yang; Paquette, Luc; Baker, Ryan S.; Clarke-Midura, Jody – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2015
Inquiry skills are an important part of science education standards. There has been particular interest in verifying that these skills can transfer across domains and instructional contexts [4,15,16]. In this paper, we study transfer of inquiry skills, and the effects of prior practice of inquiry skills, using data from over 2000 middle school…
