Can a teacher aim for students to believe evolution without indoctrinating them? Recent discussions of indoctrination in evolution education suggest that such teaching must inevitably indoctrinate but is “warranted” in some cases; while science educators concerned about teaching for belief argue that such teaching is indoctrinating and is thus to be avoided. In this paper, we consider the argument for the inevitability of indoctrination and for “warranted indoctrination,” argue that the main cost of the latter is the abandonment of the commonly understood negative connotation of “indoctrination,” and offer an account that honors the strengths of that argument but avoids that cost. Assuming that aiming for belief change in students is valuable at least in part because it is more likely than understanding alone to lead to action, we then offer and defend a model of such evolution teaching that is non-indoctrinating and contrast it with two others that are problematically indoctrinating.

以信仰为目标的进化教育一定要灌输吗？

老师可以让学生相信进化论而不灌输他们吗？最近关于进化教育灌输的讨论表明，这种教学必须不可避免地灌输，但在某些情况下是“有根据的”；而关注信仰教学的科学教育者则认为，这种教学是灌输式的，因此应该避免。在本文中，我们考虑了灌输的必然性和“有理由的灌输”的论点，认为后者的主要代价是放弃了普遍理解的“灌输”的负面含义，并提供了一个尊重优势的解释那个论点，但避免了这个成本。假设旨在改变学生的信念至少部分是有价值的，因为它比单独理解更有可能导致行动，
