Thinking Science Australia (Western Australia) papers
The Thinking Science Australia project is now into its fourth year with more than 30 schools participating. Data from the first school to complete the program (our pilot school) in Australia have been published in June 2012 in the prestigious International Journal of Science Education. The paper reports improvements to students' thinking and their achievement in science and describes the effect of the program on teachers.
