Attacking a Straw Man? A theoretical alternative and an exploratory empirical approach on how to “inoculate” students against astrology
Who Says Scientific Laws Are Not Explanatory
Constructivism or Epistemic Advantage, But Not Both
Can we maintain that all knowledge is relative to specific frameworks (such as socially situated standpoints) while also claiming that some frameworks are better than others? This tension risks either circularity—privileging a standpoint by its own standards—or inconsistency, by invoking a non-situated vantage point. Ashton and McKenna propose a solution: some achievements, though rooted in one standpoint, can be evaluated using criteria shared a…
Anti-Intellectualism?” Situating Javier Milei’s Discourse About Science
Has the coronavirus pandemic changed students’ conceptions of microorganisms? Evidence from elementary school
This article outlines the results from an investigation on elementary school students designed to find out whether the coronavirus pandemic had an impact on their conceptualisation of microorganisms. We compared 9- to 11-year-old children’s drawings and answers to questionnaires conducted before the pandemic (during 2017 and 2018, N = 137) with those conducted after the pandemic (during 2022, N = 94). We found that the impact has been deep. On th…
Usos de los juicios de valor en la ciencia
El argumento de la subdeterminación establece que las personas de ciencia pueden utilizar valores políticos para orientar la investigación, pero no proporciona criterios para distinguir entre una orientación legítima y una ilegítima. Este artículo provee tales criterios. El análisis de los confusos argumentos contra la ciencia cargada de valores revela el criterio fundamental de la orientación ilegítima: cuando los juicios de valor operan orienta…
Checkable nutrition
This study focuses on an educational proposal on nutrition within the framework of a context-based approach to science teaching. The intervention was conducted with 100 students between the ages of 9 and 15 in the City of Buenos Aires with the intention of developing their ability to identify checkable and non-checkable claims. Even when it has been noted that a short training can improve this ability in adults, for the first time we have evidenc…
