| Abstract | Both children and adults often display essentialist biases—assuming that groups, such as biological species, are uniform in their features—which can lead them to underestimate variability within-species and across generations. This project will examine learners’ understandings of biological variability, a key foundational concept in biology education, that is linked to understanding genetics and inheritance. The researchers will investigate the connection between children’s essentialist biases a |
