Introduction A scientific progress is defined as science making progress through showing scientific knowledge, to grow there must be more knowledge found from when there was at the start. Until Kuhn and Popper the concept of scientific progress was not well heard off, they both attempted to explain in which the way science progresses and both remain a part of influencer history. Thomas Kuhn’s theory of science came about in 1964, right after Popper’s theory discrediting it. Although they…

In everyday life the Scientific Method can be utilized regularly. Most of the time, people don’t even realize that they are using the steps to the Scientific Method when figuring something simple out. People can move through the steps so quickly it is hard to recognize that many used them while making decisions about regular daily life situations. Kausik Datta wrote “that his wish for every Non-Scientist is to understand the use of the Scientific Method, and how it is the foundation for…

Science is what I live for. science is my life. I thought every thing could be explained through science or logic. But it could not explain one of the biggest incident in my life. It can't explain Amelia. Eisenstein.It was Eisenstein whose work built an interest for physics in me. I fell in love with his work, with his discoveries and inventions. I wanted to be like him.To Be a physicist. That is why i went to Germany for higher education at the age of 18. Usually people find hard or…

According to the IOP, Institute of Physics (2014), “A misconception can be defined as a view that does not fully coincide with the scientific view” (Hutchinz, 2014). It is said that Isaac Newton’s laws are there as a guideline to help with the understanding of science and to steer clear of misconceptions when it comes to the concept ‘force’. This concept is very difficult to teach. Misconceptions occur because people lack the ability to believe in the implications of these laws and to…

The difficulty with reconciling natural science and sense perception is that scientific research requires us to formulate abstract notions based on our qualitative observations. The question above mentions the sensory observation that the table is solid, which is accurate. However, this claim is also influenced by the physical boundaries of our senses. We can reconcile the two sources of knowledge but we have to explain how observations developed by natural science are independent of its…

Essentialism is the idea that only good theories are those that give the ultimate explanation for phenomena in terms of their underlying essences. Operationism is the idea that concepts in scientific theories must in some way be grounded in observable events that can be measured. This idea removes all feelings and intuitions of a particular individual because it is not replicable by others. Removing the feelings from an experiment allows the experiment to be tested by anyone who can carry out…

Although this is the first time I heard about the Toulmin model, the information resources helped me to understand how this model works. The Toulmin Model constructs or analyzes a persuasive argument. Its name provides from its creator Stephen Toulmin. The Toulmin Method breaks an argument into six essential parts (claim, evidence, warrant, backing, rebuttal, and qualifier) that weight and support points for both for and against the argument. The Toulmin Model provides an excellent method for…

1.1 Scientific Management - Taylor Scientific Management is primary proposed by Frederick W. Taylor to use scientific way to develop operator’s production efficiency by using experimental observation (Laegaad & Bindslev 14). This approach is engineered approach which applies scientific knowledge. So, it is considered the result of optimization by using Scientific Management makes scientific rationality. However, even it has rationality in scientific way, sometimes it’s not acceptable for…

Rebuttal to two arguments against GACC Introduction The goal of this assignment is to identify unsubstantiated claims against the existence of global anthropogenic climate change (GACC) and to rebut these claims based on scientific sources. I shared a summary of two distinct arguments against GACC that I have read from different sources. I then formulated a rebuttal against these two claims I found. Synopsis Although the majority of scientists support the idea of anthropogenic climate change…

1)Explain each of the following notions and how they fit with each other to form Kuhn’s account of scientific revolutions: paradigm, normal science, puzzle-solving, anomaly, crisis, revolution, and incommensurability. According to Kuhn, what is the structure of scientific revolution? Describe how a revolution starts, the process by which the transition occurs, and how the revolution is completed. To Kuhn, the structure of scientific revolutions is as so: normal science occurs within a paradigm;…
