CRITIQUE EXAMPLE - GRADUATE STUDY Bibliographical Entry Hamby, J.L. (1995). An assessment of the Applied Biology/Chemistry curriculum in selected Oklahoma schools. Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater. Problem Traditional science teaching methods may be an ineffective preparation venue for students assuming careers in a technologically advanced labor market. A curriculum which stresses an applied approach employing the cooperative learning method may be a more effective means of teaching a diverse base of scientific information. For this reason, the relative effectiveness of an applied science curriculum needs to be evaluated. Comments - The problem statement was very lengthy and needed to be reread several times to understand the point of the study. The problem did, however, agree with the title and had an educational significance. Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the Applied Biology/Chemistry (ABC) curriculum taught using the cooperative learning method with the traditional biology curriculum taught using more typical instruction by means of student scores on a standardized biology test and science attitude survey. Comments - The purpose was clearly stated, agreed with the title and problem, and was limited to the researcher’s capabilities and resources. The purpose agreed with the problem in that it will evaluate the effectiveness of the ABC curriculum. However, the purpose revealed that this was done by comparing scores on a standardized biology test and science attitude survey. Objectives Specifically, the study sought to compare pre-test and post-test scores on: (a) the National Association of Biology Teachers/National Science Teachers Association (NABC/NSTA) biology test of those students taught the ABC curriculum using the cooperative learning method in selected Oklahoma schools; (b) the NABT/NSTA biology.
