The Importance of Understanding the Nature of Science for Accepting Evolution (2008, background): “Teaching science with the aim of changing students’ beliefs about evolution raises difficult questions about the proper role of teachers and science education (e.g., Meadows et al. 2000; McKeachie et al. 2002; Ingram and Nelson 2006).”
Evolution as a controversial issue: a review of instructional approaches (2008, background): “In summarizing their research, several researchers (Brem et al. 2003; Brickhouse et al. 2000; Ingram and Nelson 2006; Jackson et al. 1995; Johnson and Peeples 1987; Meadows et al. 2000; Sinclair and Pendarvis 1997; Woods and Scharmann 2001) have suggested that students should be provided with the ”
Measuring knowledge of natural selection: A comparison of the CINS, an open‐response instrument, and an oral interview (2008, background): “…and Anderson’s (1990) study sample, Anderson et al.’s (2002) study sample, and many other samples (e.g., Brumby, 1984; Clough & Wood-Robinson, 1985; Ingram & Nelson, 2006) also comprised mostly white non-Hispanic students, and they likewise documented many of the alternative conceptions…”
Evolution and personal religious belief: Christian university biology-related majors' search for reconciliation (2011, background): “Adverse reaction to randomness was most apparent in the Evolution Attitudes Survey (Ingram & Nelson, 2006).”
Three Decades of Anti-evolution Campaign and its Results: Turkish Undergraduates’ Acceptance and Understanding of the Biological Evolution Theory (2010, result): “When we compare acceptance rates of the students in our study with students from the US ( Ingram and Nelson 2006 )—the US was the penultimate country above Turkey in Miller et al.’s 2006 ranking of public acceptance of evolution-, we see a substantial difference.”
Understanding Natural Selection: Essential Concepts and Common Misconceptions (2009, background): “…teachers (Vlaardingerbroek and Roederer 1997; Rutledge and Mitchell 2002; Deniz et al. 2008), the two parameters seem to be at most only very weakly related in students9 (Bishop and Anderson 1990; Demastes et al. 1995; Brem et al. 2003; Sinatra et al. 2003; Ingram and Nelson 2006; Shtulman 2006).”
Academic preparation in biology and advocacy for teaching evolution: Biology versus non-biology teachers (2009, background): “Alternative frameworks are summarized in Jones and Carter (2007, Table 35.1) and Southerland and Sinatra (2003). As noted by Abell (2007), distinctions between knowledge (e.”
Current Status of Research in Teaching and Learning Evolution: I. Philosophical/Epistemological Issues (2010, background): “As evidence of this confusion of meanings, I note that authors have variously reported measuring student acceptance of evolution ‘‘as a science’’ ( Ingram and Nelson 2006, p. 9 ), as a ‘‘scientifically factual phenomenon’’ (Asghar et al. 2007, p. 195), as a ‘‘scientifically valid explanation’’ (Rutl”
