What distinguishes scientific and experiential disciplines?
a) | Science is based on facts and is always right and cannot be falsifiable |
b) | Scientific disciplines are more difficult to understand, teach and learn |
c) | Experiential disciplines do not use the scientific process |
d) | Experiential disciplines are based on standards and best practices and lack overarching principles, laws or axioms that can be applied to solving a wide variety of problems |
e) | All of the above |
f) | a and b only |
b and d onl |
The answer to the above question is g. b and d only
Statement a. Is false because, scientific theory must be falsifiable, and scientific knowledge is always tentative, or conjectural. And in question it is written as science cannot be falsible, which is wrong
Statement b. Yes it's true, Science is a subject of high cognitive demand, learners will struggle to be successful in the subject if they are unable to access higher thinking and communication skills. If learners lack the vocabulary to share their scientific observations and explain their ideas they are going to underachieve; not through lack of understanding but through poor literacy.
Statement c. Is false because whatever experiences we see is all based upon on the observation, and until you don't observe any of the scientific phenomenon occurring you cannot experience either, so science and experience go hand in hand
Statement d. Yes it's true because experiential disciplines are bases on standards, and good practices that are being applied to solve various problems occurring.
