Yarker, Patrick – FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, 2021
The government's policy of helping pupils and students 'catch up' with 'lost learning' misconceives learning, and endorses pedagogical approaches based on this misconception. Whether or not to learn lies with the learner, so teaching is more properly understood as an act of faith in people rather than of delivery to them. Such a view has…

Willen, Sarah S.; Walsh, Colleen C.; Williamson, Abigail Fisher – Health Education & Behavior, 2021
Background: Health educators and advocacy groups often use side-by-side visual images to communicate about equity and to distinguish it from equality. Despite the near-ubiquity of these images, little is known about how they are understood by different audiences. Aims: To assess the effectiveness of an image commonly used to communicate about…

Novak, Igor – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Ionization of amino acids (AA) is very important concept in biochemistry. We integrate the mathematical concept of probability with biochemically relevant process of AA ionization. We visualize the ionization process with Mathematica software discussing intramolecular interactions between weakly acidic/basic functional groups and charge--pH…

Kaplar, Marija; Lužanin, Zorana; Verbic, Srdan – International Journal of STEM Education, 2021
Background: In the rapidly changing industrial environment and job market, engineering profession requires a vast body of skills, one of them being decision making under uncertainty. Knowing that misunderstanding of probability concepts can lead to wrong decisions, the main objective of this study is to investigate the presence of probability…

Egdell, Valerie; Robertson, Peter J. – International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance, 2021
In this article, we provide a balanced critique of Sen's Capability Approach (CA) with reference to its potential to inform career guidance theory and practice. There are varying understandings and interpretations of the CA. Some see capabilities as universal, whilst others favour a more relativist view. The CA is also vulnerable to…

Clarfield, Geoffrey – Academic Questions, 2021
This article begins with Geoffrey Clarfield describing how by becoming an anthropologist, going to graduate school, shipping out to Kenya in the mid-1980s, and doing field work among a Cushitic speaking group of camel nomads in the desert lands of northern Kenya, he was able to achieve his goal of both experiencing and understanding the difference…

McCully, George – New England Journal of Higher Education, 2021
There has been a growing consensus among authorities, especially in the Trump era, that the U.S. is in an epistemological crisis that threatens its democracy. President Barack Obama, for example, in a recent "Atlantic" interview, said: "If we do not have the capacity to distinguish what's true from what's false, then by definition…

Buckley, Alex – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2021
The phrase 'teaching and learning' has essentially replaced the word 'teaching' in educational discourse. The linguistic shift occurred as part of a wider movement in the 1980s and 1990s to give greater attention to learning in the educational process, and the phrase served a sloganistic function. With the learning paradigm now largely…

Whittle, Sean – Journal of Religious Education, 2021
It is still surprisingly common to hear advocates of Catholic education refer to 'Catholic' Religious Education. This article will identify the issues bound up with the concept of 'Catholic Religious Education'. It will be argued that at the very least using this concept is akin to a category mistake, and at worst it skews our understanding of…

Fernandez-Beanato, Damian – Science & Education, 2021
The vast majority of well-informed philosophers of science and scientists who are clearly (uncontroversially) scientists are able to extensionally differentiate between almost all scientific and non-scientific practices, disciplines, theories, attitudes, modes of procedure, etc., and do so or would do so in much the same way. This legitimately…

Wabnegger, Albert; Gremsl, Andreas; Schienle, Anne – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
Previous research has shown that people who endorse conspiracy theories are more prone to the conjunction fallacy: the tendency to perceive conjunct events as more probable than constituent events. The present study examined the relationship between specific beliefs (belief in conspiracy theories, religiosity) and the susceptibility to conjunction…

Caulfield, Mike – Project Information Literacy, 2021
In the academic imagination, depth and attention are the highest of virtues. But in pushing students to apply high-attention strategies to all incoming information, there is a risk of creating a new and dangerous shallowness. The author begins this article by talking about real-world decision-making. Looking at the structure of decisions can…

Sofía Judith Garófalo; Lydia Galagovsky; Manuel Alonso – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
In this work extensive misconceptions of university students'--from nutrition area--about the metabolism of carbohydrates (CHM) in the human organism have been documented. The results lead to consider their difficulties concerning the learning of a complex set of imbricated biochemical models involved. Pursuant to these considerations, three…

Nikola Synak; Nikola Šabíková; Radomír Masaryk – Science & Education, 2024
Studies consistently show the social impact of spreading epistemologically unfounded beliefs (or 'conspiracy beliefs'), including negative effects on public health. The present study identified correlations among epistemologically unfounded beliefs, authoritarianism, and scientific literacy in a representative sample of 303 Slovak secondary school…

Igor Bascandziev – Cognitive Science, 2024
The ability to recognize and correct errors in one's explanatory understanding is critically important for learning. However, little is known about the mechanisms that determine when and under what circumstances errors are detected and how they are corrected. The present study investigated thought experiments as a potential tool that can reveal…
