SCIENCE What is Science?

Science is the study of knowledge which can be made into a system and which usu. Depends on seeing and testing the facts and stating the general natural law. (Longman, 1983;993).

Science involves six major kinds of components.

These pertain to problem, attitude, method, conclusion, and effect. (Bahm,1983;11).

1.Problem

No problem, no science. Scientific knowledge result from solving scientific problems. No problem, no solution, no scientific knowledge.

2.Attitude The scientific attitude include at

least six major characteristics curiosity, speculative, willingness to be objective, open-mindedness to suspend judgment and tentatively.

3.Method“What makes study scientific is no the

nature of the thing with which it is concerned, but the method by which it deals with these things “. (Thomason, 1971.38). “The essence of science is its method” (Mc Grath, 1950;118).

4. Activity Science is what scientist do . What

scientists do is often called “Scientific Research” . Research has two aspects, individual and social.

5.Individual“Science is an activity, a mode of

practice by particular persons”.(Ros,1971.1). In this sense, science exists in persons and nowhere else. It depends for its continued existence upon transference from person to person.

6.Social (How are values know). Values are known in the same ways

that other objects are known. That is, by intuition and inference. Anyone who understands knowledge already understands knowledge of values.

Knowledge of values are.1. Intuition(perception)

Intrinsic values. Intrinsic values are known intuitively.

2.Inference(assumption) How do we know values, both intrinsic and

instrumental, by means of inference?

• Manny Intrinsic values maybe known inferentially.
