National Association for Research in Science Teaching.
Suggestions for instructional improvement are offered for science teachers in this compilation of research summaries on specific areas of science education. This series examines the topic areas of: (1) higher-order cognitive skills (focusing on developing operational definitions and classification schemes for cognitive skills); (2) microcomputers in science instruction (synthesizing research findings on the effectiveness of microcomputers in teaching and learning); (3) learning styles (describing several models or systems that have attempted to explain an individual's learning style); and (4) metacognitive strategies (highlighting the values of metacognitive and metaknowledge strategies and describing the functions of concept maps and vee diagrams in metacognitive learning).
