As part of a wider ranging project surveying science at Key Stage 4, 118 pupils along with their teachers were interviewed to determine their reactions to the teaching and carrying out of investigative science. The major response from the pupils was one of enjoyment, but the purpose was often seen as being related solely to the GCSE coursework requirement. This may stem from the fact that some pupils' experience of investigative work was limited to the bare minimum required to satisfy the requirements of the GCSE examination. In addition, there was little evidence of teachers explicitly addressing the 'procedural content' which it is proposed is associated with investigative science.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
