Our+group's+better+than+Talon's+group

Andy: 2 cognitive, quantitative: inferential statistics. 1 situative, qualitative: ethnographic methods all had some type of coding, only cognitive used statistics. others just compared. situative - successes/challenges in learning how to teach science. from students, puting inquiry into practice, what was interesting, what helped you? cognitive - actually statisticlaly oriented

Randy: Situative - dialogue, analysis: just making sense of dialogue. Compare nature of science view between high school & undergrads. with research experience, ideas of nature of science changed significantly and then changed again once they were a researching scientist - became better, more 'accurate'

Denise: 2 situative, 1 ognitive situative: interviews cognitive: pre & post tests. pre: interview. post: achievement, see how presuppositions of individuals affected their learning of genetics concepts. Situative - high school student's experience not good, didn't have the knowledge base to learn more than basic skills in vet tech position. undergrad research - more of a knowledge base, viewed experience as 'real science' better experience with situative learning.

Alex: 2 cognitive, 1 situative cognitive: 7th graders' views of nature of science (changes) authors concerned with how students undergo developmental changes (mentally - naive to informed views of science) used questionnaires & interviews.

How are these studies generalizable (due to small sample sizes)?
