Эндрю Штульман - Сбитые с толку

Хотя отрицание науки вызывает проблемы для общества, с точки зрения психологии оно неизбежно. Существует глубокий разрыв между когнитивными способностями людей по отдельности и требованиями современного мира. Общество, сложившееся на протяжении последних двух сотен лет, требует мастерского владения высокоуровневыми когнитивными навыками, например умением читать и писать, и понимания сложных когнитивных структур, в том числе научных понятий и теорий. Темы, которые когда-то были на острие научного поиска, сейчас преподают маленьким детям. Человек, не знакомый с этими идеями, мог прекрасно себя чувствовать в обществах прошлого, но те времена ушли. Чтобы выжить в современном мире, необходимо освоить азы науки не меньше, чем уметь готовить, убираться, следить за собой и делать мелкий ремонт.

Современная жизнь сильно зависит от науки, поэтому препятствия в понимании науки игнорировать нельзя. Проблему интуитивных теорий нужно принимать всерьез. Нужно создать среду, которая поможет осознать эти теории и разработать пути их преодоления — в классной комнате и за ее пределами. Интуитивные теории будут с нами всегда, так как их заново открывает каждый ребенок. Но нельзя позволить детским представлениям ограничивать возможности, которые открываются во взрослом возрасте.
