Students’ understanding of evidence in science through studying paradoxes and the principle of falsification
This thesis explores how students can come to understand the relationships between evidence, theory and logic within the field of science. I develop the role of the study of paradox as a teaching practice. I seek to ascertain the role that this type of study offers the development of students’ evide...

| description | This thesis explores how students can come to understand the relationships between evidence, theory and logic within the field of science. I develop the role of the study of paradox as a teaching practice. I seek to ascertain the role that this type of study offers the development of students’ evidentiary logic and I question whether studying paradoxes can enhance students’ capacity to articulate their understandings. |
