Changing Your Mind with Evidence

根据证据改变观点

Description

Be willing to change your mind when evidence doesn't support your prediction — a result that surprises you is more valuable than one that confirms what you already thought

Mastery Evidence
  • ✓ belief revision in children research (PMC 2020)
  • ✓ hypothesis testing and argumentation from evidence in young children
Assessment Prompt

If your child predicts what will happen in an experiment and gets a different result, do they accept the evidence rather than deciding the experiment must have gone wrong?
