Examining the Conceptual Organization of Students in an Integrated Algebra and Physical Science Class.

Westbrook, Susan L.

School Science and Mathematics, v98 n2 p84-92 Feb 1998

Compares the conceptual organization of students in an integrated algebra and physical science class (SAM 9) with that of students in a discipline-specific physical science class (PSO). Analysis of students' concept maps indicates that the SAM9 students used a greater number of procedural linkages to connect mathematics and science concepts than did PSO students. (Author/CCM)
