| Summary: | Reported is a study designed to evaluate differences in cognitive processes related to science among (1) college bound high school students who had studied both physics and chemistry, (2) college bound students who had not studied either subject, and (3) non-college bound students who had not studied either subject. The test used to assess the degree of understanding of scientific principles and methods of scienc e was the Processes of Science Test (POST). In general, Group 1 subjects demonstrated general competence in areas measured by POST and were superior to students in the other two groups. Some differences in the severity of cognitive deficiencies were obtained between Groups 2 and 3 but, in general, students without course work in physics and chemistry demonstrate the same general cognitive weaknesses whether college bound or not.
