Research and Reasoning

Introduction

Contemporary science has deep controversy. Various thinkers question the traditional tenets of the traditional argument scientific knowledge and its claims of universal reality. It is built on emerging paradigms that increasingly grasp realities more complex, the total reality as a systemic ontology, holism and ecology as to offer a new perspective of the philosophy of science.

The research approach draws on the sources of knowledge through inductive or deductive reasoning and operationalized using the method, the Greeks made the first contribution to, to discover the truth. When a man has a unification of ideas to the truth of things, there is an association between image-thing, knowledge to rational-deductive logic (McNeill, 1990).

Sources of Knowledge

Before further examining the role that scientific research examining the role weitere plays in education, will examine the ways that plays along in education, will examine the forms alonghistory man has sought answers to your questions. The sources of knowledge can be classified into five types: 1) Experience, 2) Authority, 3) deductive reasoning, 4) Inductive Reasoning and 5) scientific method.

Experience is the most common source and known after Experience is the Most Common Known source and after a person has tried several routes to get from home to work, have tried person reaches Several routes to get from home to work, eat to discover which requires less time, less traffic or more to discover Which Requires less time, less traffic or more attractive. Through personal experience is the staff response through experience is the answer to many of the questions that arise. Much of the wisdom is passed from one generation to another is the product of experience, it does not make profits, progress would be slow. It is thought that the ability to extract knowledge from experience is a feature primary of intelligent behavior.

Despite its usefulness is limited experience as a source of truth, because its influence depends on what one is. Two people have very different experiences in the same situation. A beach may mean a sanctuary for a person and a terrifying solitude to another. Two supervisors who are observing the same classroom will report the same time will report very different things that are going well and the other in which they are wrong. Another shortcoming of this source is that too often one need to know things you cannot learn by experience staff. A child on their own had to arithmetic could lead to the method of the sum, but it would be difficult to find a way to calculate the square root. An accomplished achieved a master teacher knows the Population of a classroom in a day's work, but it would be personally impossible to count the population of their country. When it comes to things difficult or impossible to know through personal experience, we seek the assistance of a staff-through experience, an "expert" in the field, that is, someone very familiar with the problem or have other sources of knowledge on the subject; accepted as ...
