The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of instructional approach to the development of critical thinking, reading comprehension, and learner affect. This study employed quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate two Fifth grade classes at a suburban school in Texas, and two Sixth grade classes from a rural school in Texas. The experimental group received social studies instruction using an inquiry approach. The control group received social studies instruction using a traditional textbook approach. All students were given the Test for Inquiry in Social Studies (TISS) and the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) as pre- and posttests. Classrooms were observed and small group interviews were conducted. The quantitative data were analyzed using an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to identify similarities and differences between and within the groups. The qualitative data were analyzed using constant-comparison to generate Themes and Categories.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of instructional approach to the development of critical thinking, reading comprehension, and learner affect. This study employed quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate two Fifth grade classes at a suburban school in Texas, and two Sixth grade classes from a rural school in Texas. The experimental group received social studies instruction using an inquiry approach. The control group received social studies instruction using a traditional textbook approach. All students were given the Test for Inquiry in Social Studies (TISS) and the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) as pre- and posttests. Classrooms were observed and small group interviews were conducted. The quantitative data were analyzed using an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to identify similarities and differences between and within the groups. The qualitative data were analyzed using constant-comparison to generate Themes and Categories.
520 $a The results of the One-way ANOVA found a significant difference between the groups on TAAS 2001 and TAAS 2002. The control group demonstrated the most growth between 2001 and 2002 on the TAAS, however the experimental group started with higher scores and demonstrated moderate growth on the TAAS 2002 test. Analysis of the subcategories of the TAAS Reading test revealed that the control group had larger gains and losses in the subsections of the test, while the gains and losses of the experimental group were moderate.
520 $a The results of the One-way ANOVA found a significant difference between the groups on the TISS-A and the TISS-B. The mean score of the control group remained virtually the same, while the mean score of the experimental group demonstrated a loss of points between the pre- and posttest.
520 $a The qualitative data were analyzed using Themes and Categories. The Themes were: Affect, Interaction, Skills, Performance, Knowledge, and Response. Examples of the Categories within each theme were found in the interviews and observations. Frequencies were used to determine classroom trends for each Theme. The control group demonstrated high frequencies of frustrated affect, negative interactions, competent skills, misdirected or apathetic performance, basic-recall knowledge, and vague or confused responses. By comparison, the experimental group demonstrated higher frequencies of confident or comfortable affect, purposeful interactions, strategic skills, self-monitoring and efficient performances, comprehension and metacognition, and assisting responses. Differences between the two groups demonstrated the impact of instructional approach not only on classroom affect but also on the development of strategic and creative thought, and the students' ability to understand and analyze their own work.
