The investigator would investigate the role of context in critical thinking (making sure an author's points are clearly backed by evidence) across popular media. What are the needs of everyday critical thinkers and how can their needs be fulfilled? It will develop tools and training based on this research and train parents and teachers on the use of these tools. Then it will evaluate whether participation affects user practice.The researcher will examine the personal and social impact of scientific information from three studies of evolutionary science as perceived by college students and adults. It will concentrate on public understanding of the human genome project and human learning strategies. The project will use web-based forums as a vehicle for investigating these understandings. The interactions of teachers and students with the Web will be evaluated to determine whether informative tools that support student strategies and reflective exercises are needed.

调查员将在大众媒体上调查语境在批判性思维中的作用(确保作者的观点得到明显的证据支持)。日常批判性思考者的需求是什么？如何满足他们的需求？它将在这项研究的基础上开发工具和培训，并培训家长和教师使用这些工具。然后，它将评估参与是否影响用户实践。研究人员将检查来自三项进化科学研究的科学信息对个人和社会的影响，这是大学生和成年人所感知的。它将集中于公众对人类基因组计划和人类学习策略的理解。该项目将使用基于网络的论坛作为调查这些谅解的工具。将对教师和学生与网络的互动进行评估，以确定是否需要支持学生策略和反思性练习的信息工具。
