Changing Your Mind with Evidence
Science · Scientific Inquiry · meta
Be willing to change your mind when evidence doesn't support your prediction — a result that surprises you is more valuable than one that confirms what you already thought
What mastery looks like
- belief revision in children research (PMC 2020)
- hypothesis testing and argumentation from evidence in young children
Check your understanding
If Changing Your Mind with Evidence predicts what will happen in an experiment and gets a different result, do they accept the evidence rather than deciding the experiment must have gone wrong?
