| Summary |
Two accelerated Chemistry classes were used to compare the development of the integrated science process skills. The students in each class were pretested using the Test of Integrated Process Skills (TIPS I) and posttested using the Test of Integrated Process Skills II (TIPS II). One class performed eight traditional macroscale laboratory experiments and the other class performed eight microscale laboratory experiments over a five month period. The results showed a significant gain in scores between the pretest and the posttest. There was not a significant difference between the macroscale group and the microscale group in terms of scores on the posttest. Therefore, one treatment was not shown to be significantly different from the other in terms of the development of the integrated science process skills. |
