Data reasoning is an essential component of scientific reasoning, as a component of evidence evaluation. In this paper, we outline a model of scientific data reasoning that describes how data sensemaking underlies data reasoning. Data sensemaking, a relatively automatic process rooted in perceptual mechanisms that summarize large quantities of…

Direct linkKenrick, Carole – School Science Review, 2017
This article recounts the author's working experience of one method by which pupils' understanding of the epistemologies of science can be developed, specifically how scientists can develop hypothetical models and test them through simulations. She currently uses this approach for transition lessons with pupils in upper primary or lower secondary…

Marks, Margaret M. – ProQuest LLC, 2011
The purpose of this dissertation is to better understand scientific training within clinical and counseling psychology doctoral programs. A primary goal is to extend previous research by expanding the scientific training outcome variables from research interest and productivity to include additional characteristics of scientific mindedness such as…

Peer reviewedDess, Gregory G.; Beard, Donald W. – Administrative Science Quarterly, 1984
Reducing Aldrich's codification of organizational task environments from six to three dimensions--munificence (capacity), complexity (homogeneity-heterogeneity, concentration-dispersion), and dynamism (stability-instability, turbulence), the authors use interim and factor analytical techniques to explore each dimension's viability and draw…

Johnson, Susan – Principled Practice in Mathematics and Science Education, 1997
Relates activities implemented in a high school genetics course that enable students to experience "science in the making" (Latour, 1987). Students work in research groups, build explanatory models of observed natural phenomena, present models at class conferences, revise models based on peer feedback or new observational information, and win…

Peer reviewedSmith, I. R.; Henderson-Sellers, B. – Environmental Education and Information, 1981
Describes the basic philosophy, nomenclature, and techniques used in mathematical modelling to enable biologists, engineers, land managers, and others to understand the concepts and usefulness of models. Contrasts conceptual and empirical approaches, using ecosystem models as an example of the former. (DC)

Fiorello, Catherine A.; Hale, James B.; Snyder, Lindsey E. – Psychology in the Schools, 2006
Response to intervention (RTI) must be combined with comprehensive cognitive assessment to identify children with learning disabilities. This article presents the Cognitive Hypothesis Testing (CHT) model for integrating RTI and comprehensive evaluation practices in the identification of children with reading disabilities. The CHT model utilizes a…

Clement, John – 1988
Some central issues in discussions of creative processes in science are: (1) the mechanism(s) by which hypothesis formation takes place; (2) the sources of new knowledge during hypothesis formation; and (3) the "Eureka" versus steady accumulation (accretion) issue concerning the pace of change during hypothesis formation. This paper…
