- Title
Marginalizing Misinformation: The Fast-and-Frugal Way.
- Authors
ALLCHIN, DOUGLAS
- Abstract
It focuses on the NGSS science and engineering practice 8, and it helps articulate what is meant by "Evaluate the validity and reliability of multiple claims that appear in media reports." We can provide students with some simple tools to help distinguish genuine science from the junk imitations posted on the internet and cascading through social media. Their "playbook" is by now familiar to the guardians of science (e.g., Kenner 2015; Union of Concerned Scientists 2019). Focus on the source, not the claim Students need methods to deal with the torrent of misleading information.
