46. SCIENCE HOBBYIST: Misconceptions Page: NITPICKER! and misconceptions, and if the problems can never be entirely eliminated, then there is only one cure students and teachers must learn and practice Critical Thinking. Teach http://amasci.com/miscon/nitpik.html

MISCON COMMENT GOOD STUFF NEW STUFF ... SEARCH AM I JUST A PEDANTIC SCIENCE-NITPICKER? William Beaty NOTE: many of my articles contain advice aimed at teachers and authors rather than for everyone else. For example, in science classrooms, particular words must have very clear and narrow meanings. Any misuse will often give serious misconceptions to students. For the same reason, science textbooks need to be extremely clear and unambiguous. But for the rest of us out in the everyday world, we're free to use words in all kinds of crazy ways. "Nitpicking" should be aimed at textbooks and educators. On the other hand, if you personally find certain parts of science confusing, then often you can cure this problem ...with nitpicking! Simply stop tolerating words with vague or incorrect meanings. Just give some very narrow definitions to the terms you use (terms like Electricity for example.) Declare all of the other "common everyday" definitions of those words to be wrong. Then teach yourself to explain things exclusively in that rigidly simple language. Even learn to think exclusively in that narrow language. If you banish the fog from your definitions of words, you can often banish the fog from your understanding as well. Then, once you've clearly seen the correct concepts, you can go out into the everyday electronics world and use any terms in any screwy way you wish. Colleagues will know what you mean. (But if you someday want to teach your understanding to non-experts, it certainly helps if you can strip away much of the misleading and ambiguous fog from your words.)
