Search Results for hypothesis

...) illustrated that textbooks tend to present the scientific method as a stepwise process as a simplistic account of hypothesis testing through experiments. Woodcock (2014) discussed such “myths” of the scientific method and highlighted a wide variation in the content of scientific method representations...

... for causal demonstrations. Famously, Newton told his readers over and again that he did not engage in “hypothesis and speculations.” His claim was that the infallible theories can be derived directly from these phenomena ( Laudan, 1983 , p. 114). ⁵ Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, European...

... scores or observed measures of association happened by chance. To perform an inferential analysis to test a hypothesis, first one states a null hypothesis H₀ and a mutually exclusive alternate hypothesis H₁. For example, if one wishes to test if two sets of post...

... is not peculiar to quantum observables Difference between state vector and vector property Contradiction of experimental results and hypothesis that a photon possesses the properties that determine a measurement result Transmission probability Observables and operators QMCA (N = 39 MC + 3 ME...

... is a place where students are invited to take part in an educational community where one of the teacher's roles is to replicate some of the knowledge and practices of the scientific community ( Tiberghien, 1996 ). The design process follows the hypothesis that each time a person or a group explains or makes...

... a solution and test a model. PBL focuses on the solving process, in which students work out the solution by means of trial and error, data analysis, hypothesis (i.e., what- if analysis), testing and debugging ( Xenakis and Brentas, 2019 ). In PBL, the teacher's role is advisory and interferes only when...

... and achievement in conducting an experiment. Some virtual laboratory environments offer specific cognitive tools for learners to choose from, such as a question or hypothesis menu or to decide on the question to be addressed. Whether affordances of such virtual environments may promote and offer valuable guidance...

...-laden nature of science and the introduction of quantum hypothesis can be an example of the imaginative and creative nature of science. As well, the basic reasoning such as deduction and induction was also proposed by Aristotle to explain kinematics ( Cushing, 1998 ). Physics plays an anchor role...

... research, students develop inductive skills in pattern finding, hypothesis creation, and hypothesis testing ( Wong et al., 2011 ). However, the existence and use of technological means are not enough, since teachers are required who have the ability to use and understand technological means...

... occurs in the process of evaluation among competitive theories based on data and not in the simple relation between a hypothesis and evidence. Inadequate historic, epistemological, and didactic approaches to teaching STR were also found in the most used physics textbooks in Argentina ( Arriassecq...

.... The GSD students overestimated their scores when self-scoring their solutions to the first examination problems, confirming similar results from previous studies. The outcome of the study was consistent with the hypothesis that students in the self-diagnosis group could self-diagnose their errors more...

... through qualitative questions was beneficial for solving a subsequent synthesis problem, which combines two or more of those principles in the solution, but only for students who had lower course grades. One hypothesis for why students with higher course grades did not benefit is that these students may...

...) . For Besson and Viennot (2004) , a key factor in the difficulties of students is the conception of pressure as a manifestation of weight (total weight or weight of the fluid directly above the point considered). Their hypothesis is that to promote understanding, it is not enough to say what a given quantity...
