This paper proposes the use of students science notebooks as one
possible unobtrusive method for examining some aspects of teaching
quality. Students science notebooks were used to examine the nature
of instructional activities in their science classrooms, the nature
of teachers' feedback, and how these two aspects of teaching were
correlated with student achievement. Researchers examined the
characteristics of science notebooks for 6 students from each of 10
fifth-grade classrooms. Each entry was analyzed. Results indicate
that raters can consistently classify students notebooks in spite
of the diversity of the forms of communication (written, schematic,
or pictorial). They can also consistently score the quality of a
students communication, conceptual, and procedural understanding
and the quality of a teachers' feedback to the student. The
intellectual demands of the tasks required by the teachers were, in
general, low. Teachers tended to ask students to record the results
of an experiment or to copy definitions. Low student performance
scores across two curriculum units revealed that students
communication skills and understanding were far from the maximum
score and did not improve over the course of instruction during the
school year. Teacher provided little, if any, feedback. Only 4 of
the 10 teachers provided any feedback to students notebook entries,
and when feedback was provide, comments took the form of a grade,
checkmark, or a code phrase. It is concluded that the benefits of
science notebooks as a learning tool for students and a source of
information for teachers were not exploited in the science
classrooms studied. An appendix describes the performance
assessments these students used. (Contains 4 figures, 7 tables, and
25 references.) (Author/SLD).
