Datos Investigación presencia de conocimientos pseudocientificos.xlsx

The importance of scientific literacy and the problem that unscientific beliefs entail is the starting point of this research. The aim of this work is to analyse pseudoscientific beliefs and paranormal phenomena and conspiracy theories acceptance (PPC beliefs) of teachers in training, in addition to the influence that gender, academic background, and thinking styles have on PPC beliefs. Two questionnaires, the first one to evaluate their PPC beliefs and the second one to determine their rational and experiential thinking, were administered. Data were analyzed by a bifactorial ANOVA, four unifactorial ANCOVAs, Pearson's productmoment correlations, and multiple regression analysis. The main conclusions were: a) the level of acceptance of PPC beliefs among teachers in training is medium-low; b) female teachers in training have more naïve PPC beliefs (of lower quality or less sophisticated) than male teachers in training, although such differences disappear when comparing those with similar level of experiential thinking; c) teachers in training with higher academic level have more sophisticated PPC beliefs (higher quality or less naïve) than teachers of lower academic level, and d) the level of acceptance of PPC beliefs is negatively correlated with analytical or rational thinking, and positively correlated with intuitive or experiential thinking.

本研究以科学素养的重要性，以及非科学信念所引发的各类问题作为研究起点。本研究旨在分析职前教师的伪科学信念、超自然现象与阴谋论接受度（PPC beliefs），并探究性别、学术背景与思维风格对该类信念的影响。研究采用两份问卷开展施测：第一份问卷用于评估受试者的PPC信念水平，第二份问卷用于测量其理性思维与经验思维特质。数据分析采用双因素方差分析、四项单因素协方差分析、皮尔逊积矩相关分析以及多元回归分析方法。主要研究结论如下：（1）职前教师的PPC信念接受度处于中低水平；（2）相较于男性职前教师，女性职前教师的PPC信念更为朴素（质量更低、成熟度更差），但当比较经验思维水平相近的群体时，该性别差异会消失；（3）学术水平更高的职前教师，其PPC信念的成熟度显著高于学术水平较低的职前教师；（4）PPC信念接受度与分析性/理性思维呈显著负相关，与直觉性/经验思维呈显著正相关。
