Peer reviewedBateson, David J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1990
The effects of full-credit semester and all-year timetables on science attitudes and science achievement of grade 10 students was investigated. Findings indicated that students in all-year courses consistently outperformed students in semester courses in the cognitive domain, but there were no differences in the affective domain. (CW)
