| is umbrellaology a science: Nature of Science in Science Instruction William McComas, 2020-08-24 This book offers a comprehensive introduction to Nature of Science (NOS), one of the most important aspects of science teaching and learning, and includes tested strategies for teaching aspects of the NOS in a variety of instructional settings. In line with the recommendations in the field to include NOS in all plans for science instruction, the book provides an accessible resource of background information on NOS, rationales for teaching these targeted NOS aspects, and – most importantly – how to teach about the nature of science in specific instructional contexts. The first section examines the why and what of NOS, its nature, and what research says about how to teach NOS in science settings. The second section focuses on extending knowledge about NOS to question of scientific method, theory-laden observation, the role of experiments and observations and distinctions between science, engineering and technology. The dominant theme of the remainder of the book is a focus on teaching aspects of NOS applicable to a wide variety of instructional environments. |
| is umbrellaology a science: Philosophy of Science David Boersema, 2009 This new anthology, which integrates explanatory text, primary source readings, and case studies, provides students of any major (philosophy, science, or other) with an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the philosophy of science. The anthology is organized around a unique three-pronged approach: the metaphysical (what), the epistemological (how), and the axiological (why). The topics covered build coherently and logically: from issues of scientific method to ethical issues, to science's most current social and political implications. They demonstrate how philosophy of science is relevant in a modern day context. The anthology carefully examines the theoretical apparatus of the philosophy of science and applies it to rich case studies from the history of science. |
| is umbrellaology a science: Research Methodology Peter Pruzan, 2016-02-22 This book is an in-depth guide to effective scientific research. Ranging from the philosophical to the practical, it explains at the outset what science can – and can’t – achieve, and discusses its relationship to mathematics and laws. The author then pays extensive attention to the scientific method, including experimental design, verification, uncertainty and statistics. A major aim of the book is to help young scientists reflect upon the deeper aims of their work and make the best use of their talents in contributing to progress. To this end, it also includes sections on planning research, on presenting one’s findings in writing, as well as on ethics and the responsibilities of scientists. |
| is umbrellaology a science: The Invention of Science: Why History of Science Matters for the Classroom Catherine Milne, 2011-11-13 The Invention of Science: Why History of Science Matters for the Classroom introduces readers to some of the developments that were key for the emergence of Eurocentric science, the discipline we call science. Using history this book explores how human groups and individuals were key to the invention of the discipline of we call science. All human groups have a need and desire to produce systematic knowledge that supports their ongoing survival as a community. This book examines how history can help us to understand emergence of Eurocentric science from local forms of systematic knowledge. Each chapter explores elements that were central to the invention of science including beliefs of what was real and true, forms of reasoning to be valued, and how the right knowledge should be constructed and the role of language. But most importantly this book presented these ideas in an accessible way with activities and questions to help readers grapple with the ideas being presented. Enjoy! |

| is umbrellaology a science: Epistemology and Science Education Roger S. Taylor, Michel Ferrari, 2012-03-28 How is epistemology related to the issue of teaching science and evolution in the schools? Addressing a flashpoint issue in our schools today, this book explores core epistemological differences between proponents of intelligent design and evolutionary scientists, as well as the critical role of epistemological beliefs in learning science. Preeminent scholars in these areas report empirical research and/or make a theoretical contribution, with a particular emphasis on the controversy over whether intelligent design deserves to be considered a science alongside Darwinian evolution. This pioneering book coordinates and provides a complete picture of the intersections in the study of evolution, epistemology, and science education, in order to allow a deeper understanding of the intelligent design vs. evolution controversy. This is a very timely book for teachers and policy makers who are wrestling with issues of how to teach biology and evolution within a cultural context in which intelligent design has been and is likely to remain a challenge for the foreseeable future. |

| is umbrellaology a science: Advances in Nature of Science Research Myint Swe Khine, 2011-09-18 This book consolidates contemporary thinking and research efforts in teaching and learning about the nature of science in science education. The term ‘Nature of Science’ (NoS) has appeared in the science education literature for many decades. While there is still a controversy among science educators about what constitutes NoS, educators are unanimous in acknowledging the importance of this topic as well as the need to make it explicit in teaching science. The general consensus is that the nature of science is an intricate and multifaceted theme that requires continued scholarship. Recent analysis of research trends in science education indicates that investigation of the nature of science continues to be one of the most prevalent topics in academic publications. Advances in Nature of Science Research explores teaching and assessing the nature of science as a means of addressing and solving problems in conceptual change, developing positive attitudes toward science, promoting thinking habits, advancing inquiry skills and preparing citizens literate in science and technology. The book brings together prominent scholars in the field to share their cutting-edge knowledge about the place of the nature of science in science teaching and learning contexts. The chapters explore theoretical frameworks, new directions and changing practices from intervention studies, discourse analyses, classroom-based investigations, anthropological observations, and design-based research. |
| is umbrellaology a science: Good Chemistry Jan Mehlich, 2021-02-15 Practicing chemists face a number of ethical considerations, from issues of attribution of authorship through the potential environmental impact of a new process to the decision to work on chemicals that could be weaponised. By keeping ethical considerations in mind when working, chemists can build their own credibility, contribute to public trust in the chemical sciences and do science that benefits the world. Divided into three parts, methodological aspects, research ethics, and social and environmental implications, Good Chemistry introduces tools and concepts to help chemists recognise the ethical and social dimensions of their own work and act appropriately. Written to support chemistry students in their studies this book includes practice questions and examples of relevant situations to help students engage with the subject and prepare for their professional life in academia, industry, or public service. |

| is umbrellaology a science: Teaching and Learning about Science Derek Hodson, 2009-01-01 Findings generated by recent research in science education, international debate on the guiding purposes of science education and the nature of scientific and technological literacy, official and semi-official reports on science education (including recommendations from prestigious organizations such as AAAS and UNESCO), and concerns expressed by scientists, environmentalists and engineers about current science education provision and the continuing low levels of scientific attainment among the general population, have led to some radical re-thinking of the nature of the science curriculum. |
| is umbrellaology a science: Metatheory in Social Science Donald Winslow Fiske, Richard A. Shweder, 1986-03-15 What is the nature of the social sciences? What kinds of knowledge can they—and should they—hope to create? Are objective viewpoints possible and can universal laws be discovered? Questions like these have been asked with increasing urgency in recent years, as some philosophers and researchers have perceived a crisis in the social sciences. Metatheory in Social Science offers many provocative arguments and analyses of basic conceptual frameworks for the study of human behavior. These are offered primarily by practicing researchers and are related to problems in disciplines as diverse as sociology, psychology, psychiatry, anthropology, and philosophy of science. While various points of view are expressed in these nineteen essays, they have in common several themes, including the comparison of social and natural science, the role of knowledge in meeting the demands of society and its pressing problems, and the nature and role of subjectivity in science. Some authors hold that subjectivity cannot be studied scientifically; others argue that it can and must be if progress in knowledge is to be made. The essays demonstrate the philosophical pluralism they discuss and give a wide range of alternative positions on the future of the social and behavioral sciences in a postpositivist intellectual world. |

| is umbrellaology a science: International Handbook of Research in History, Philosophy and Science Teaching Michael R. Matthews, 2014-07-03 This inaugural handbook documents the distinctive research field that utilizes history and philosophy in investigation of theoretical, curricular and pedagogical issues in the teaching of science and mathematics. It is contributed to by 130 researchers from 30 countries; it provides a logically structured, fully referenced guide to the ways in which science and mathematics education is, informed by the history and philosophy of these disciplines, as well as by the philosophy of education more generally. The first handbook to cover the field, it lays down a much-needed marker of progress to date and provides a platform for informed and coherent future analysis and research of the subject. The publication comes at a time of heightened worldwide concern over the standard of science and mathematics education, attended by fierce debate over how best to reform curricula and enliven student engagement in the subjects. There is a growing recognition among educators and policy makers that the learning of science must dovetail with learning about science; this handbook is uniquely positioned as a locus for the discussion. The handbook features sections on pedagogical, theoretical, national, and biographical research, setting the literature of each tradition in its historical context. It reminds readers at a crucial juncture that there has been a long and rich tradition of historical and philosophical engagements with science and mathematics teaching, and that lessons can be learnt from these engagements for the resolution of current theoretical, curricular and pedagogical questions that face teachers and administrators. Science educators will be grateful for this unique, encyclopaedic handbook, Gerald Holton, Physics Department, Harvard University This handbook gathers the fruits of over thirty years’ research by a growing international and cosmopolitan community Fabio Bevilacqua, Physics Department, University of Pavia |

| is umbrellaology a science: Bible Bullies: How Fundamentalists Got The Good Book So Wrong , 2015 This work explores conformation and presentist biases in continuing accounts of the Ruby McCollum story. This was a 1952 murder trial in which a wealthy African-American wife shot and killed her white, physician and Florida Senator elect lover. The author contends that continuing accounts of the story are being told through the lens of the present, and by authors and filmmakers who bring their own point of view to the story rather than relying on archival information. By re-visiting archival information, the author attempts to confront these versions of revisionist history. |

| is umbrellaology a science: Motivation and Personality A H Maslow, 2023-10-01 Motivation and Personality by A.H. Maslow is a seminal work in the field of psychology and personal development, making it one of the best motivational books for personal growth and transformation. In this book, Maslow explores the fundamental aspects of human motivation and provides insights into the factors that drive individuals to reach their fullest potential. Key Aspects of the Book “Motivation and Personality”: Hierarchy of Needs: One of the central concepts introduced by Maslow in this book is the Hierarchy of Needs. Maslow proposes that individuals have a series of needs arranged in a hierarchical order, ranging from basic physiological needs to higher-level needs such as self-actualization. By understanding this hierarchy, readers can gain insights into their own motivations and work towards fulfilling their needs in a balanced and purposeful manner. Self-Actualization: Maslow delves into the concept of self-actualization, which refers to the innate drive in individuals to reach their highest potential and become the best version of themselves. He explores the characteristics and behaviors of self-actualized individuals and provides practical guidance on how individuals can cultivate self-actualization in their own lives. Motivation and Personal Growth: The book offers profound insights into the various factors that influence human motivation and personal growth. Maslow discusses the importance of self-esteem, belongingness, and self-transcendence in fostering personal development and overall well-being. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of their own motivations and discover strategies to enhance their motivation and unlock their true potential. Motivation and Personality provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of human motivation and offers practical guidance on how to cultivate personal growth and fulfillment. Maslow's theories and concepts have had a significant impact on the field of psychology, and this book continues to inspire individuals to explore their motivations, strive for self-actualization, and lead a purposeful and meaningful life. Abraham Harold Maslow, known as A. H. Maslow, was an influential American psychologist who is best remembered for his theory of human motivation known as Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Maslow's groundbreaking work explored the fundamental needs that drive human behavior, ranging from basic physiological needs to higher-level needs such as self-actualization. His theory revolutionized the field of psychology and has had a lasting impact on various disciplines, including education, business, and self-help. Maslow's insightful contributions continue to shape our understanding of human behavior and the pursuit of personal fulfillment. |

| is umbrellaology a science: Sosyolojide Hakim Eğilim Pozitivizm Uğur Berk Kalelioğlu, 2018-10-11 Pozitif bilimlerin temel özelliği ölçülebilir olmasıdır. Gözlemlenebilen, değerlendirilebilen ve tekrarlanabilen olayların ölçümü. Bu ölçümler bir şeyin nasıl oluştuğunu ortaya koyar ve aynı şey tekrarlandığında aynı sonuçlara ulaşılmalıdır. Fizik, Kimya, Biyoloji gibi pozitif bilimler için hatta soyut verilerle ilgilenen Matematik için sonuçlar ne kadar tekrarlanırsa tekrarlansın aynı sonuca ulaşır. Belirtilen şartlar aynı olduğunda su 100 C°da kaynar, demir 1538 C°da erir, vs. Matematik ve diğer ilimlerin bütün dallarında mevcut olan aksiyomlara bakıldığında “bir eşitliğe eşit şeyler eklenince veya çıkarılınca eşitlik bozulmaz”, yani mantık ile sonuç aynı şeyi gösterir. Fakat sosyal bilimlere bakıldığında ve özellikle insan ile ilgili bir konuda kesinlik, tekrarlandığında aynı sonuçların elde edilmesi çok zordur. Antik Yunan filozofu Heraklitos; “Aynı nehirde iki defa yıkanılmaz” diyerek iletişimin temel aksiyomlarından tekrarlanamazlık ilkesine vurgu yapmaktadır. Çünkü; yer değişir, su değişir, zaman değişir, hiçbir şey olmazsa sen değişirsin. Sosyolojinin temel konusu toplum ve insandır. İnsan, toplum ve ilişkiler sürekli gelişir, değişir ve yeniden biçimlenir. Okumaya başladığınız bu kitabın önemi de burada başlıyor. Sosyolojinin pozitif bilim olup olmadığı ile ilgili tartışmalar şöyle dursun, kitabın yazarı Uğur Berk Kalelioğlu genel tartışmaya çok farklı açıdan bakmış ve konuya çok değerli bir yorum getirmiştir. Aslında bu kitap tartışmayı yeniden canlandırmaktadır. Kendisini kutluyorum. |

| is umbrellaology a science: World Changes Paul Gordon Horwich, 2024-02-20 Thomas Kuhn is viewed as one of the most influential (and controversial) philosophers of science, and this re-release of a classic examination of one of his seminal works reflects his continuing importance. In World Changes, the contributors examine the work of Kuhn from a broad philosophical perspective, comparing earlier logical empiricism and logical positivism with the new philosophy of science inspired by Kuhn in the early 1960s. The nine chapters offer interpretations of his major work The Structure of Scientific Revolutions and subsequent writings. The introduction outlines the significant concepts of Kuhn's work that are examined and is followed by a brief appraisal of Kuhn by Carl Hempel. The chapters discuss topics that include: a systematic comparison of Kuhn and Carnap viewing similarities and differences; the disputation of absolute truth; rational theory evaluation and comparison; applying theory to observation and the relation of models in a new conceptualization of theory content; and interpreting Kuhn's plurality-of-worlds thesis. The volume also presents four historical papers that speak to Kuhn's views on lexical structures and concept-formation and their antecedents. The afterward, by Kuhn himself, reviews his own philosophical development, his thoughts on the dynamics of scientific growth, and his response to issues raised by the contributors and other interpreters of his work. |
