Candidate Classroom Teachers’ Perceptions about being Scientific in the Context of Pseudoscience
Abstract
The current study, aiming at investigating
the perceptions of candidate classroom teachers for being scientific and
examining the effect of the intervention comprising particular characteristics
of demarcation on those perceptions, was interpretative in nature. Two data
sources were utilized in order to determine their pre and post perceptions.
Candidates performed poorly in the process of concluding on the status of
pseudoscientific knowledge claims. But, after the intervention that based on
pre-determined characteristics, the guided participants were seemed to reason
more validly and able to evaluate the status of the cases they investigated for
being scientific or not.
