The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there are developmental differences in teleological and anthropomorphic reasoning and whether biology students differ from non-biology students in teleological and anthropomorphic reasoning. The 168 high school and university participants responded to a Microcomputer-based Interactive Test (MBIT) which identified their anthropomorphic/teleological versus causal reasoning patterns. The findings of the study indicate that maturation contributes to the development of causal, non-teleological reasoning between tenth and twelfth grade. It was also shown that the study of biology is a major factor influencing the ability to distinguish between teleological and causal non-teleological reasoning. The educational implications of the study refer to the need to deal with the issue of causal, non-teleological reasoning explicitly and repeatedly during the study of biology. |
