Bautista, R. G. (2015). Students' affordance of teleologic explanations and anthropomorphic language in eliciting concepts in physics. Journal of Technology and Science Education, 5(1), 31-40. https://doi.org/10.3926/jotse.137

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Descriptive analysis of general preconceptions (Table 1) across Kinematics, Dynamics, Statics and Thermodynamics, with dispersion indices by age group (16-17, 18-19, 20 and above) rated Low, Moderate or High.

"It can be said that the students’ who had just completed their secondary educaton had the least afordance of teleologic-anthropomorphic reasoning when compared to their counterparts."

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Descriptive comparison by curricular orientation in Table 1; the author attributes the difference to English being the medium of instruction in the present study, so students with linguistic and semantic competence in English can more easily infer on phenomena.

"the students who completed English curriculum in their Secondary Science Program had the least afordance of teleologic-anthropomorphic reasoning when compared to their counterparts who had the Arabic curriculum."

• Classroom pedagogical interventions significantly reduce teleologic and anthropomorphic language, with curricular exposure but not age as a significant factor — related
• Students' teleologic explanations and anthropomorphic languages correlate with age and are associated with curricular undertaking — related
• The interaction of interventions with age and curricular undertaking is not significant at the .05 level — related
