Who to believe? How epistemic cognition can inform science communication
Two patients with the same condition decide to research possible treatments. They encounter multiple sources, from experts and others, each with different – sometimes contradictory – information. Depending on whom they believe and how they integrate these claims, the patients may make radically different decisions. These situations are commonplace in everyday life, from medical choices, to our voting decisions. How do we understand these differences, and support people in making the best decisions?
Epistemic cognition provides one lens onto this problem. Epistemic cognition is the study of how people think about the justification, source, complexity, and certainty of knowledge. When we evaluate evidence, think about where and when it applies, and connect claims to build models, we engage our epistemic cognition. Understanding how people navigate their own, and others’ knowledge is one of the most pressing social issues of our time in order to develop a sustainable society. I’ll draw on research in epistemic cognition, and my own research on how people search for and talk about evidence, to flag key implications of epistemic cognition research for science communication.

Nine Strategies for Enhancing Critical Internet Literacy. Colin Harrison ukla...Colin Harrison
This presentation identifies the high-level demands for critical Internet literacies and indicates how to develop them when reading with digital technologies. Based on recent challenges faced by literacy learners, he outlines and provides practical examples of nine strategies for enhancing critical Internet literacies. For example, the strategy to Be Alert! Be Suspicious! induces readers to be circumspect of web material by asking questions, raising doubts, noticing discordant details, and making it challenging to be convinced. The strategy to Integrate Information Across Sources directs readers to think laterally and vertically among the many modes of information, remaining open to more than one possible meaning or interpretation for the task or challenge the are addressing. In all, seven other strategies will be presented with classroom-focused examples.

Becta Impact09 data reanalysed: E-maturity and ICT adoption in UK schoolsColin Harrison
EARLI Conference - Munich 2013
Symposium: Educational technology acceptance- Explaining non-significant intention-behavior effects
Full paper title: An e-maturity analysis explains intention-behavior disjunctions
in technology adoption in UK schools
Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of non-significant intention-behavior effects in educational technology adoption, based on a reanalysis of data from the Impact09 project, a UK-government funded evaluation of technology use in high schools in England that had been selected as representing outstanding Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) innovation. The reanalysis focuses on intentionality and teleology, and attempts to combine an ecological perspective with a critical analysis of the intention-behavior correlations among participants, particularly teachers and head teachers. The concept of self-regulation is also considered as a determinant of behavior. The study reports a qualitative analysis of extensive interview data from four schools, and makes use of Underwood’s concept of ‘linkage e-maturity’. Traditional models of technology acceptance often assumed a steady trajectory of innovation, but such studies failed to explain uneven patterns of adoption. In this reanalysis, an emphasis on learning practices and e-maturity, interpreted within local and system-wide ecological contexts, better explained uneven adoption patterns.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Using a Critical Internet Literacy perspective to assess students' Internet searching activity. INTED2023.pptx
1. “You don’t know whether it’s all true”: using a
critical literacy perspective to develop a
taxonomy of UK school students’ judgments
when searching the internet
Colin Harrison and Chloë Patterson
University of Nottingham
2. Background:
The Internet is a dangerous place:
1990 Tim Berners-Lee sets up the
WorldWideWeb with the intention of
creating a platform for ‘the free and
open worldwide exchange of
information’ (Berners-Lee and Cailliau,
1990).
2018 Berners-Lee expresses alarm at
three trends: ‘Fake news’, Personal
surveillance, cyber warfare (2018).
2022. If 'truth' is contextual, contested
and geographical, what are the
implications for teaching critical digital
literacy?
5. Theoretical Background:
1. Critical discourse analysis (Freire, 1970; Fairclough, 1989;
Blommaert & Bulcaen, 2000)
- All education is political; education is never a neutral act.’
(Freire, 1970, p19)
- Pedagogy should lead to both emancipation and action
- Critical literacy does not simply read the world, it rewrites it. It
changes the world.
2. Critical Digital Literacy (CDL)
- digital literacy is not just about skills; it involves three areas:
technical, cognitive, socio-emotional (Ng, 2012)
6. Data collection:
Ng (2012) and many subsequent
digital literacy researchers
based their CDL scales on factor
analysis of student self-report
questionnaire data....
This IRB-approved study
positions students as
research partners; with
their on-task discourse as the
primary data (Somekh, 2002;
Dwyer, 2010)
7. Data collection:
1. Five triads of Grade 4 students
(navigator, evaluator, manager)
recorded their Internet searching
of six sites to answer the question
'How many stars can you see in
the night sky?' (5 x 25 mins)
2. Four focus groups of Grade 8
and Grade 9 students recorded
their responses to two search
tasks, one on George Orwell, and
one on the question 'How many
stars can you see in the night
sky?' (4 x 25 mins)
'Where can we see evidence of critical digital literacy in action?'
8. A grounded theory analysis of Critical Digital Literacy was developed, following Einav,
Robinson & Fox (2013) and based on a triple analysis of 225 mins of audio (Strauss and
Corbin, 1998/2014).
The open coding identified discourse segments related to discussion of
- search terms (what search terms should we use, and why?)
- navigation (where to click next, and why?)
- reliability of data/site (where is confirmation of our search results?)
- trustworthiness of data/site (why should we trust these results?)
After axial coding, the discourse segments classified into four groups, which were on a
rough continuum from naïve to thoughtfully critical:
1. Ingenuous (naïve, unquestioning, point/click, selecting the first site offered)
2. Multimodal (recognizing the need for information from additional
sources/confirmatory information/fresh search terms/rechecking earlier results)
3. Circumspect (showing caution about a site or source; caution over invited links)
4. Ambivalent (showing critical awareness of 'truth', judging ideology, remaining doubtful
when faced with conflicting results)
9. Is this evidence of critical digital literacy in action?
1. Ingenuous (naïve, unquestioning, point/click, selecting the first site offered)
Elementary school:
Hannah: This is a horoscope, but I do trust it…it's probably true.
High school:
Jeffrey: It's asking me to accept cookies, so I usually go 'Accept all'.
Charlie: When you do a search, it's usually good to look at the top ones first- if it comes up first that means it's usually
reliable to get information off. It's like Google is singling it out, that's one you need to look at.
10. 2. Multimodal (recognizing the need for additional/confirmatory information/fresh search terms/rechecking earlier site)
Elementary school:
Megan: Let's look at another [website] and see if we get different answers.
Ben: Let's just double check, and look at the last two [sites] again.
Amie: I think we should go back [to the previous site] to check.
Bernadette: Are there any other words we can use for this [search]?
High school:
Jessica: I would click on quite a few links to see if they match up, to be sure about it.
Is this evidence of critical digital literacy in action?
11. 3. Circumspect (showing caution about a site or source; caution over invited links)
Elementary school:
Maddison: Sometimes you can't trust Wikipedia- anyone can go on there and change words.
Maddison: Can we trust this? It's too informal.
Antonio: Then there's these adverts…. I definitely don't trust this…. And they're asking me to 'like' them on Facebook….
High school:
Jeffrey: Wikipedia isn't a reliable website- 'cos people can change it.
Zara: I find it quite irritating if there's a pop-up straight away, and they ask you to click on a different link.
Alexander: I wouldn't click in the first link that comes up (on Google) You need to look at the little bit underneath. That
might tell you what you really want to know. I would scroll down first.
Is this evidence of critical digital literacy in action?
12. 4. Ambivalent(showing critical awareness of the uncertainty of 'truth', intentionality/doubtful content)
Elementary school:
Sarah: Which of these two [sites] could be truer?
Jessica: I don't know whether to trust it, because it's using all scientific words, but you don't know whether it's all true.
Chlöe: They're both relevant, but I don't know whether they're true.
Hildergard: It's talking about star signs… Aren't they basically superstitions? It's like religion. Can we trust it? No.
High school:
Charlie: There's often adverts…. If there's lots of adverts for the same thing, then maybe [the site] is not reliable.
Zara: If I'm on Wikipedia and it says 'Not secure', I wouldn't use it. I'd try to go on a different web site.
Is this evidence of critical digital literacy in action?
13. 4. Ambivalent(showing critical awareness of the uncertainty of 'truth', intentionality/doubtful content)
Elementary school:
Sarah: Which of these two [sites] could be truer?
Jessica: I don't know whether to trust it, because it's using all scientific words, but you don't know whether it's all true.
Chlöe: They're both relevant, but I don't know whether they're true.

Zara: If I'm on Wikipedia and it says 'Not secure', I wouldn't use it. I'd try to go on a different web site.
Is this evidence of critical digital literacy in action?
14. Problems with this presentation:
• A problematic and woolly definition of Critical Digital
Literacy
• A small data sample, and a somewhat opaque procedure
for selecting CDL discourse examples
• In any event, it's problematic to even try to suggest a
'scale' of Critical Digital Literacy
• A problematic set of sub-scale headings (I-M-C-A)
• Even if we accept Harrison and Patterson's idiosyncratic
set of subscale headings, many of the discourse segments
could be placed under different subscale headings
• … and where do the presenters offer any solution to the
problem of the Balkanisation of epistemology?

Haven't we been looking at critical digital literacy in action?
And doesn't looking at Circumspection and Ambivalence give us a toe-hold on
the problem of dealing with the Balkanisation of epistemology?
Nevertheless...
