Method of using sampling in teaching experimental sciences

On the use of sampling and qualitative case study approach; Brickhouse explored three science teachers' insights into the relationship between science and technology and the impact of such insights on classroom practice, and in ۱۹۹۰ tested a similar teacher relationship between understanding the nature of science and classroom practice. During the four months, a minimum of four hours of interviews and thirty-five hours of class observations (taped) were collected for each teacher. Additional data was also collected through tests, classroom exams, and training materials.Additional data was also collected through tests, classroom exams, and training materials.
