Abstract

=Purpose:= This articles main purpose is to see if the heuristic approach of learning is effective in developing science students skills in the laboratory and classrooms activities. The heuristic approach to learning is an argument approach to learning. The study wanted to scaffold student learning and this would then help the students with laboratory and classrooms activities. =Results:= The study found that the students that were taught by the teachers in the heuristic approach were better at writing in the summary writing test. This means the students gained skills such as better augmentation, oral and writing that helped them score better on this summary writing test. =Thoughts:= This article is a very interesting read because the students (who are Korean) score very high on certain assessments test and its weird to see some of their skills are lacking. This article also shows very well the implementation of the heuristic approach and shows how students critical thinking skills increased from this form of teaching.
