Shemwell, Jonathan T.; Chase, Catherine C.; Schwartz, Daniel L. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2015
Evaluating the relation between evidence and theory should be a central activity for science learners. Evaluation comprises both hypothetico-deductive analysis, where theory precedes evidence, and inductive synthesis, where theory emerges from evidence. There is mounting evidence that induction is an especially good way to help learners grasp the…
