DESCRIPTION:<span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM FAKE NEWS? BUILDING CRITICAL THINKING AND SCIENTIFIC LITERACY IN THE CLASSROOM<br />
</strong>SUSAN NOLAN (SETON HALL UNIVERSITY)<br />
CHAIR: JASON SPIEGELMAN<br />
<br />
Political &ldquo;fake news&rdquo; may get more attention, but science &ldquo;fake news&rdquo; is dangerous, too. As psychology instructors, we are perfectly situated to help students develop the critical thinking and scientific literacy skills they need to differentiate among reports of strong (and hopefully reproducible) evidence, stories &ndash; often historical &ndash; that are ultimately some form of fake news, and reports that are legitimate but get the science wrong in some way. By integrating stories, activities, and assignments throughout the semester, we can help students build the &ldquo;need for cognition&rdquo; that drives us to enjoy thinking critically and scientifically.</span>
