Teaching a Hypothesis Testing Strategy to Prospective Teachers.
Piburn, Michael D.
Journal of Science Teacher Education, v3 n2 p42-46 Spr 1992
Investigates teaching propositional logic (hypothesis testing and scientific reasoning) to preservice teachers enrolled in an elementary science method course (n=48). Results indicate that students scored higher on a posttest of the Propositional Logic Test than on the pretest. Authors conclude that even a brief intervention in logic can improve the thinking of prospective teachers. (PR)
