Academic preparation in biology and advocacy for teaching evolution: Biology versus non-biology teachers (2009, background): “For nearly 20 years science educators have conducted empirical studies exploring the relationships between evolutionary knowledge and belief in different populations (Bishop & Anderson, 1990; Demastes, Settlage, & Good, 1995; Deniz et al., 2008; Dole, Sinatra, & Reynolds, 1991; Ingram & Nelson, 2006”
The Importance of Understanding the Nature of Science for Accepting Evolution (2008, background): “Misconceptions about the nature of science and in particular a failure to appreciate the aspects of science related to the factor we identified as “complexity” are fairly robust cross-culturally (Leach et al. 1997; Kang et al. 2004; Huang et al. 2005; Liang et al. 2006; Deniz et al. 2008), while the”
Healing, Mental Energy in the Physics Classroom: Energy Conceptions and Trust in Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Grade 10–12 Students (2013, background): “In an educational context, AOT has been found to predict, for example, acceptance of the theory of evolution over and above the effect of understanding the theory (Deniz et al. 2008; Sinatra and Pintrich 2003).”
Current Status of Research in Teaching and Learning Evolution: I. Philosophical/Epistemological Issues (2010, methodology): “teachers) acceptance explained less than 4% of the variance in understanding (Deniz et al. 2008).”
A More Fine-Grained Measure of Students' Acceptance of Evolution: Development of the Inventory of Student Evolution Acceptance—I-SEA (2012, background): “Some research suggests that acceptance of evolution allows students to construct greater understanding of this construct (Evans, 2008 ; Nadelson & Southerland, 2009 ; Rutledge & Warden, 2000 ), others find little to no relationship between students' acceptance and comprehension of evolution (Brem”
Feeling of certainty: Uncovering a missing link between knowledge and acceptance of evolution (2012, methodology): “A competing conceptual model (Deniz et al., 2008) represents acceptance of evolutionary theory as being related to understanding in the cognitive domain and two factors in the affective domain: learning/thinking dispositions, and an unknown mediator between parents’ education level (contextual…”
A Cross‐Cultural Comparison of Korean and American Science Teachers’ Views of Evolution and the Nature of Science (2011, methodology): “But is ambivalence or antipathy toward evolutionary knowledge—in the public generally or in science teachers particularly—a uniquely American issue, as some have suggested (eg, Archer, 1987 ; Miller et al, 2006 ; Price, 1992 ; Scott, 2009 ; but for a contrasting view, see Kutschera, 2008 )? Des”
Three Decades of Anti-evolution Campaign and its Results: Turkish Undergraduates’ Acceptance and Understanding of the Biological Evolution Theory (2010, background): “Some research has shown that understanding and acceptance are related to each other, that is the better the understanding of nature of science and evolutionary theory a teacher has, the more likely he or she will accept the theory of evolution ( Deniz et al. 2008; Lombrozo et al. 2008; Rutledge and”
