Despite the ephemeral nature of education theory and teacher training, one aspect of theory and training that remains constant is a focus on developing as a reflective practitioner (Loughran, 2002). This may in part be due to the belief that reflection and learning are intrinsically linked. Boud et al. (1985) summarise this link and write that “reflection is an important human activity in which people recapture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate it. It is this working…

cultural theory (RCT) was introduced to us by a group of people including Jean Baker Miller, Irene Stiver and Jan Surrey to name a few in the 1970’s. Through the period of time RCT became more popular every day and is strongly used in the counseling field. RCT allows counselors to take a different look into human growth and relationships which is contrary traditional models that have been previously used in counseling.

predictions of a theory, and even if that was possible, the more confirmations or rejection that arise from empirical experimentation are not definitive and prone to bias. This model allows the scientists more of an opportunity to look for predictions that will be confirmed in an effort to support a desired outcome. Popper's solution is to select predictions that are least likely to be confirmed, and then attempt to falsify a theory. Failure to falsify a theory serves as endorsement of the…

on developing theory-based and data-driven models of health complexity for contributing to the health theoretical development, providing coherence and context to fragmented evidence of health practice, and bringing closer health theory and facts. I briefly described this proposal in my application according to supplemental questions made by the program. The proposal is framed by formulations of health theories which assemble the health´s body of knowledge. Therefore, Ecosocial theory formulated…

fears it’s necessary to discuss the theories of development in order to consider all possible causes of the child’s phobia and the reasons for individual differences regarding fears.

1. As discussed in class, the common ground between logical positivism and falsificationism is that they both emphasize the importance of using empirical facts. Logical positivism uses senses such as sight, smell and touch to base theories while falsificationism has the demarcation criteria (based on empirical facts) for testing if the hypothesis made is scientific or not (Sismondo,2010,13) The difference between the two is that logical positivists believe in verifying their hypothesis to prove…

There is little doubt that knowledge can be produced through active experiment and passive observation. But they are just two of the several ways in which humans can produce knowledge. In fact, it is accepted that there are eight ways in which knowledge can be acquired. These ways are the following ones: Sense perception, Language, Reason, Emotion, Imagination, Faith, Intuition and Memory. Occasionally, knowledge can be produced in some other way, for example by random discovery (a.k.a.…
