Description
The present study examines how students currently evaluate information acquired in the science laboratory, especially computer‐presented information. We examine the effect of the use of microcomputer‐based laboratory and of an explicit instruction on students' critical evaluation skills. Finally we contrast the activities in a science laboratory with current thinking about epistemology in the philosophy of science.
