GOALS OF SCIENCE

 possess damage suppressor characteristics (ex.

 Predict summaries and
conclusions (ex. Meteorologist
predicts the weather)
 Derive knowledge and facts

FACT
 is a statement based on
research knowledge
 in the light of current
SCIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE evidence, this is accepted to
be true
SCIENCE

TYPES OF KNOWLEDGE
 SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY
FIRST SEMESTER REVIEWER

HYPOTHESIS
 tentative explanation by the
pattern created by two or
more facts Good Science
 based on observation  dynamic
 has predictive value  changes over time
 testable, open to being proven  when new facts are
wrong discovered, then the former
facts are discarded
DEATH OF HYPOTHESIS
 disprove by data, esp. Presupposes that:
empirical data  there is order in nature
 its predictions fail therefore material universe in
 supplanted by new hypothesis knowable
that better explains the data  the human mind is capable of
knowing this order
 knowable within the limits of:
APPROACHES TO RESEARCH
KNOWLEDGE
1. Human mind
2. Culture
1. Formal Science 3. Technology
 logic and mathematics – the
language of science Good Science – has paradigms and
 universal open to paradigm shifts
2. Empirical Science  interpretation of the physical
 deals with objects and world to which scientist
observations subscribe changes as
 no truth, no right or wrong anomalies arise and gets
replaced as knowledge
develops
SCIENCE VS PSUEDOSCIENCE

THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD

Good Science – eliminates as many
variables while entertaining as many
alternate interpretations of the Scientific Method – set of
observations as possible techniques generally followed to
*Hallmark of Good science: DOUBT* acquire new knowledge, correcting
and integrating previous knowledge
How to spot pseudoscience
 repeated reference to Observe – Identify the problem –
authority rather than primary Form a hypothesis – Experiments
observation – Accept or reject hypothesis –
 unwillingness to admit Conclusions – Publish
ignorance or exceptions
 unwillingness to disprove own Types of Reasoning
hypothesis  Inductive
 consistent presentation of  Deductive
hypothesis in a simplistic
manner (disregard to Science follows basic method of:
confounding effects)  Thinking
 failure to add new arguments  Observing
and data with time  Experimenting
