In school settings, typical instruction emphasizes the memorization of classification schemas and established theories. In middle school, classification may take the form of learning the names of the bones of the body, the names and shapes of different plant leaves or the phyla in the animal kingdom. In high school and early undergraduate studies, the content broadens to include unseen phenomena such as parts of the cell or types of protozoa, but the processes of memorizing classifications remains essentially the same. Even in cases where the theories are not yet established, such as the extinction of the dinosaurs, the alternative theories are presented as competing stories to be memorized. And even when students are exposed to research techniques in laboratory work, the emphasis is on following a prescribed procedure rather than reasoning from the evidence gathered in the procedure.
