Responses to student questionnaires were used to identify the effect of instructional strategies on study practices and attitudes towards biology. Israeli students were found to have positive attitudes towards biology and biology study. As they grow older their attitude towards biology becomes less positive but their appreciation of cognitive features of biology increases. Both organized and enquiry teaching have positive effects on study habits as well as on attitudes. However, while organized teaching has a stronger effect on study habits, teaching by enquiry has a stronger effect on curiosity and interest.
