- W2068582512 abstract "JACK RYAN OF EL PASO Community College has referred to campers' litter as Campa flora. I would like to discuss how nonmajors taking biology courses can be shown how to recognize litter in scientific prose, or Rhetorica flora. I believe that developing the skills for critical analysis of scientific literature, of the type that most nonmajors will be exposed to as citizens concerned with the ramifications of science, is as an important part of a biology course for them as biological knowledge itself. In fact, many biological principles, especially evolutionary reasoning, can be introduced in this format. Because nonmajors will seldom have the substantive background to evaluate facts reported in a magazine, newspaper, or television or radio documentary, their subjective reaction to the validity of such a report can be based on more objective criteria if they are able to recognize teleology, anthropomorphism, tautologies, arguments from authority, and obvious types of illogical conclusions. Their subjective opinion will also depend on their understanding of the somewhat loose distinctions between facts, empirical generalizations, postulates of a theory, hypotheses, predictions, theories, and laws. Furthermore, an understanding of the role of controls, of the difference between causation and correlation, and of the nature of scientific proof are integral aspects of an analysis. Finally, the ability of students to recognize the paradigm of the author of the report or of the original investigator whose work is being reported can also affect subjective judgments." @default.
