Abstract

The impetus in the formation of teleologic-anthropomorphic explanation emanates from the stimulation of the learners’ personal culture and language. This study ascertains the correctability of teleologic and anthropomorphic language and reasoning of students to abstract ideas and concepts in human reproduction. Employing 24 prospective Elementary Grade teachers under the Explicative-Reductive Method of One Group Pretest-Posttest Research design, this study focused on the determinants of students’ affordance of teleologic-anthropomorphic reasoning to select concepts in human reproduction. It was found out that the respondents had intermittently afforded teleologic-anthropomorphic languages across ages, sexes, and ethnicity before the treatment procedures. However, their affordances were diminished after the initiated classroom interventions. The change attributed to the independent variable is accounted at .673, which implies a great margin affecting the affordances of the respondents’ anthropomorphic and teleologic language and reasoning in human reproduction by 67.30%. Moreover, the age of the respondents is found to be interacting with their ethnic affiliation. Hence, students’ anthropomorphism and teleological language and reasoning are correctable.
