Chakravartty, Anjan – Science & Education, 2023
How is knowledge pertaining to science best transferred to the public in order to bolster support for science-based policy and governance, thereby serving the common good? Herein lies a well-recognized challenge: widespread public support arguably requires a widespread understanding of science itself, but this is naturally undermined by the…

Grogan, Justine; Innes, Peter; Carter, Jennifer; Raciti, Maria – Higher Education Research and Development, 2023
Students' prior knowledge may affect their learning of content in a compulsory Indigenous Studies course. Notably, non-Indigenous pre-service teachers' prior knowledge may bring conceptions and misconceptions to their formal Indigenous Studies education, potentially influencing their engagement with and/or resistance to concepts affecting their…

Sooknanan, Joanna; Seemungal, Terence – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2023
The COVID-19 public health emergency has been characterized by an abundance of data in the form of numbers and charts. Although these data are readily available, there have been challenges associated with their interpretation--exacerbated by generally low numeracy rates. Consequently, people may underestimate the speed at which the disease spreads…

This article positions braille as a writing system worthy of study in its own right and on its own terms. We begin with a discussion of the role of braille in the lives of those who read and write it and a call for more attention to braille in the reading sciences. We then give an overview of the history and development of braille, focusing on its…

Miller, Alyssa L.; Wissman, Kathryn T.; Peterson, Daniel J. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Research suggests exposure to misinformation continues to impact belief and reasoning, even if that misinformation has been corrected (referred to as the Continued Influence Effect, CIE). The present experiment explores two potentially important factors that may impact the effect: (1) learner age; and (2) length of delay between retraction and…

Martincová, Romana; Fancovicová, Jana; Ilko, Ivan; Peterková, Viera – European Journal of Educational Research, 2022
Evolution is one of the most difficult and controversial topics.

Michael…
