Grappling With Socioscientific Topics During Knowledge Revision and Belief Change in Varied Social Contexts
Thu, April 13, 8:00 to 9:30am CDT (8:00 to 9:30am CDT), Hyatt Regency Chicago, Floor: West Tower - Ballroom Level, AtlantaSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
The purpose of this symposium is to bring together knowledge revision experts to consider how to address misconceptions regarding socio-scientific topics. Although misconception-related interventions, such as refutation texts, have evidence of success, navigating their application to topics straddling scientific and identity-specific, emotional, or political ideas is more complicated. This symposium is meant to advance the conversation about how change in these topic areas can be affected, why/how people come to change their minds, and who are the people who change their minds. This collection of papers highlights topics not always discussed in science or history courses or in previous work, but instead considers ideas deeply informed by people’s lived experiences, where beliefs come to be an important source of knowledge.
