 2. Analysis: Probing Questions/ Guide Questions
1. How do you come up with the words that you connect to “validity of
evidence”?

2. What is the meaning of validity? What is the meaning of evidence?

C. Lesson Proper
Oxford language dictionary defines validity as the quality or being factually sound;
the legally or officially bnding or acceptable. Evidence is the available body of facts or
information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid.
In this digital age of instantaneous information, opinion and blog content coming
from across the internet, student reports or writers have an even tougher job to trace
the “source behind the source” to get at the facts and present them objectively. To
judge the validity of the evidence listened to, you need to employ various skills and
understanding of the text.You can use the values you have instilled in you in thinking
ability and emotional stability. You can also use your prior knowledge or schema or
human experience in order to arrive with the corret judgement.
In order to use one’s skill in judging the validity of the evidence listened to, one
must learn how to make argumentative content. An argumentative content tries to
change the reader’s mind by convincing him/her to agree with the writer’s point of view.
It is a piece of writing that takes a stance on an issue. The writer attempts to persuade
readers to understand and support their point of view about a topic by stating their
resoning and providing evidence to back it up. It should have a straightforward
structures so they are easy for readers to follow. The goal of an argumentative content
is to clearly outline a point of view, reasoning,a dn avidence.
(www.masterclass.com.articles)

There are four types, to be exact:

 Statistical Evidence
 Testimonial Evidence
 Anecdotal Evidence
 Analogical Evidence

1. Statistical Evidence
Statistical evidence is the kind of data people tend to look for first when trying
to prove a point. That’s not surprising when you consider how prevalent it is in today’s
society. Remember those McDonald’s signs that said “Over 1 billion served”? How
about those Trident chewing gum commercials that say “4 out of 5 dentists recommend
chewing sugarless gum”? Every time you use numbers to support a main point, you’re
relying on statistical evidence to carry your argument.

2. Testimonial Evidence
Testimonial evidence is another type of evidence that is commonly turned to
by people trying to prove a point. Commercials that use spokespersons to testify about
the quality of a company’s product, lawyers who rely on eye-witness accounts to win a
case, and students who quote an authority in their essays are all using testimonial
evidence.

3. Anecdotal Evidence
Often dismissed as untrustworthy and meaningless, anecdotal evidence is one
of the more underutilized types of evidence. Anecdotal evidence is evidence that is
based on a person’s observations of the world. It can actually be very useful for
disproving generalizations because all you need is one example that contradicts a
claim. Be careful when using this type of evidence to try and support
your claims. One example of a non-native English speaker who has perfect grammar
does NOT prove that ALL non-native English speakers have perfect grammar. All the
anecdote can do is disprove the claim that all immigrants who are non-native English
speakers have terrible grammar. You CAN use this type of evidence to support claims,
though, if you use it in conjunction with other types of evidence. Personal observations
can serve as wonderful examples to introduce a topic and build it up – just make sure
you include statistical evidence so the reader of your paper doesn’t question whether
your examples are just isolated incidents.

4. Analogical Evidence
The last type of evidence is called analogical evidence. It is also
underutilized, but this time for a reason. Analogies are mainly useful when dealing with
a topic that is under-researched. If you are on the cutting edge of an issue, you’re the
person breaking new ground. When you don’t have statistics to refer to or other
authorities on the matter to quote, you have to get your evidence from somewhere.
Analogical evidence steps in to save the day.
Take the following example: You work for a company that is considering
turning some land into a theme park. On that land there happens to be a river that your
bosses think would make a great white-water rafting ride. They’ve called on you to
assess whether or not that ride would be a good idea.
Since the land in question is as yet undeveloped, you have no casualty
reports or statistics to refer to. In this case, you can look to other rivers with the same
general shape to them, altitude, etc. and see if any white-water rafting casualties have
occurred on those rivers. Although the rivers are different, the similarities between
them should be strong enough to give credibility to your research. Realtors use the
same type of analogical evidence when determining the value of a home.
When you use analogies to support your claims, always remember
their power. http://www.writingsimplified.com/2009/10/4-types-of-evidence.html
