Some subscribers to the TIPS, AERA_TEP_SIG128-FORUM, and AP-Psych might be interested in a recent post "Re: A collection of short pieces about fallacies" [Hake (2010)]. The abstract reads:
******************************************************* ABSTRACT: EDDRA2's "tdial" (2010) wrote (paraphrasing): "Fallacies & Pitfalls in Psychology" [Pope (2010)] is about psychology, but a lot is relevant to debates about educational issues." In this post I: a. repeat clinical psychologist Ken Pope's summary of "22 Types of Logical Fallacies in Psychology"; b. agree with "tdial" that most such fallacies are common in education; c. point out that they are also rife in other fields and on discussion lists, especially "Begging the Question (Petitio Principii)"; d. give URL's for four interesting sites managed by Pope; and e. give a URL for Amazon.com's list of 9 books authored by the prolific Pope. ******************************************************* To access the complete 8 kB post please click on <http://tinyurl.com/2ctgx9w>.
