Exploring Pupils' Views and Feelings about Their School Science Practical: Use of Letter-Writing and Drawing Exercises.

Denny, Michael; Chennell, Frank

Educational Studies, v12 n1 p73-86 1986

Examines views, attitudes and feelings of high school pupils about their school science practicals (labs) via letter-writing and picture-drawing. Concludes that while students generally like practicals, they view them more as a means of confirming theory rather than an open investigation or true experiment. (JDH)
