In shortEvery facet of our social existence, is corrupted. To think science isn' we'd just have a difference of opinion on that. Tell me this. If there was someone burying evidence, outside of hearsay(which there is from some "credible sources, as our debate uncovers), how would you present it, evidence for it?
Describes a 7-stage model of the development of reflective judgment. Relates reflective judgment to Piaget's formal operations. Describes how it is determined what stage a person is in, and summarizes research on the model, specifically research relating age and educational level to stage.
Although information technology (IT) is often touted as a means of improving the quality of teaching and learning, as well as enabling universities to offer more and better distance learning courses, IT also offers the potential for information overload. Educators need to teach information literacy so that students are better able to negotiate the amount and the quality of the information they receive. This type of literacy will enable students to make the distinction between information and knowledge.
“The fossil record with its abrupt transitions offers no support for gradual change … All paleontologists know that the fossil record contains precious little in the way of intermediate forms transitions between major groups are characteristically abrupt.”
This is the scientific process. Why would we deprive our future scientists from understanding how to critically challenge and assess scientific theories?
First asks, "What is involved in critical thinking?" Answers: Asking "how do we know? What is the evidence?" Being aware of gaps in knowledge. Distinguishing between fact and conjecture. Distinguishing between an idea and the name of that idea, and providing definitions. Looking for (hidden) assumptions. Performing hypothetico-deductive reasoning. Knowing inductive and deductive reasoning. Intellectual self-reliance. Being aware of own thinking process. Then discusses why one should bother with critical thinking, bemoans the lack of it in American students, and discusses how to increase or decrease it in students.
I will in time address your whole I find it easier to address claims one at a time so please defime " (macro)evolution," in scientific terms and i will try to give scientific proof proving it or correct any mis conceptions you might have.
Critical thinking is easier to teach when you are deliberate about it. Most curricula do not attempt to teach critical thinking, so it becomes a stretch for the homeschool parents to follow through. However, the benefits are greatly outweigh the effort required. Do teach the children to think— after all, the Scirpture tells us that we should seek wisdom above all else.
Millions of transitional fossil forms were
expected to be found by evolutionists, but they never were. If
transitional forms ever existed then abundant physical evidence should
remain among billions of fossils already found, not one occasional ‘aha’
event after another with overstated claims that are later demoted and
disproved, as all widely touted ‘missing links’ have been.
