Student Questionnaire - Science as a Process

This questionnaire has been developed to assist faculty in determining the effectiveness of an instructional unit (normally a term length introductory environmental science laboratory/field based course) in increasing student knowledge of the scientific process of gathering and using data. The instrument is designed to capture students' responses pre and post course. The changes of the aggregate mean score are used as a reflection of change in understanding of the scientific process and use of data to support conclusions based on these data. 24 pages
