Teaching for the Pursuit of Truth in a Post-Truth World

Abstract

This study investigated teacher profiles with regards to their conception of truth. The explanatory sequential design began with the first phase administering a survey to a random sample from across the American southeast. Results were aggregated and each teacher was profiled with regards to four diverse views of truth: correspondence, relativist, pragmatist, and critical. The second phase of the study analyzed open-ended responses to a set of questions about instructional practices of teachers for comparison of common practices based on truth profile. The results of this investigation found a significant proportion of teachers hold contradictory views of truth while those who are firmly within one profile have noticeable distinctions among priorities, perspectives, and practices. Implications for these findings are discussed with practical consideration for the classroom regarding salient topics such as learning online, engaging in social media, and combatting fake news.

论新闻价值的本质

在电视新闻评论中坚持实名制

在电视新闻评论中坚持“实名制”可以使舆论监督落到实处，并能加大整顿社会歪风邪气、伸张正义的力度，使电视新闻评论节目深入人心。在具体实践过程中，由于“实名制”这种信息公开的报道方式会牵涉到一部分人、团体甚至是国家职能部门方方面面的问题及利益，因此媒体及其工作人员在报道过程中常常会受到各种形式的阻力，但是从国内外新闻事业发展的规律来看，随着我国法制的完善和社会民主化进程的发展，在电视新闻评论报道中坚持“实名制”将逐渐成为新闻评论类报道节目最重要的基本特征之一，而电视作为强势媒体也必将在社会舆论监督中发挥出更加重要的作用。

Identifying fake news through trustworthiness judgements of documents / La identificación de noticias falsas mediante juicios de fiabilidad de los documentos

Abstract

In the twenty-first century, people have access to a great wealth of knowledge to solve information-based problems. However, sources might include misinformation, a phenomenon also called ‘fake news’. In this study, the contribution of students’ affective engagement and behaviour disposition on Italian university students’ multiple-document comprehension will be investigated. In specific, the focus was put on trustworthiness judgements and use of justification criteria when reading documents on the controversial topic of vaccination. Participants were 289 university students. The procedure included four steps. Firstly, students were administered the tests measuring prior beliefs, topic interest and prior knowledge. Secondly, students read six documents varying by position towards vaccination and reliability. Thirdly, students were asked to report their use of processing strategies. Finally, students were asked to judge the trustworthiness of the six documents and report to what extent they had relied on specific trustworthiness criteria. Overall results confirmed the existence of four default stances adopted to complete the reading task, which are significantly associated with trustworthiness judgements. Students’ affective engagement should be targeted by enhancing their topic interest, and intervention should promote cross-document strategic processing.
