Although much research exists of students’ alternative conceptions about evolution and natural selection, the way in which these vary in time and how scientific explanations change during instruction remains to be described and understood. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to characterise the nature of the change in student thinking about evolution through the mechanism of natural selection during a six-lesson intervention with a group of ninth-grade students (14–15 years old) from a private subsidised school in Chile.

Sherry, D. S. (2019). Does knowledge of evolutionary biology change high school students’ attitudes about healthy eating?. Evolution: Education and Outreach, 12(1), 1-11.

A small study was conducted at a New England high school and consisted of two research components: (1) a cross-sectional survey of students’ views about what “healthy eating” means and (2) an intervention experiment designed to isolate exposure to knowledge of evolutionary biology. Data were collected through the use of questionnaires and analyzed according to qualitative methods.

Neue Merkmale entstehen in irgendeiner Weise, und Merkmale werden in irgendeiner Weise an Nachkommen vererbt. So formulierte
