Teleology and evolutionary education

Evolution:

Education and Outreach invites to original contributions exploring all aspects of teleological thinking and the teleological language relevant to the teaching and learning of evolution. The scope of the papers in this special edition ranges from theoretical reflections on the role of teleology in evolutionary education to empirical studies on teleology-related aspects of teaching and learning in evolution. 

For example, the submitted papers may include: evaluating students' teleological reasoning and teleological misconceptions about evolution; Teaching strategies and learning environments focusing on teleology; or teleology-related teaching practices and professional development of teachers. The literature on teleology is diverse; We welcome a number of positions from a variety of disciplines (eg cognitive psychology, learning sciences, biology education, philosophy of science).
