EDF 6225 Exam With Complete Solutions Latest UpdateSystematic approach for the seeking and organization of knowledge about the natural
world - ANSWER Science
To attain as much information as possible about the phenomena being studied and to
find the actual truths. Are not biased by groups or organizations or by the scientists
themselves. - ANSWER What is the purpose of the systematic approach for science?
Describe the three levels of understanding for science - ANSWER Description,
prediction, and control
What is the highest level of understanding for science? - ANSWER Control
What is the lowest understanding for science? - ANSWER Description
Collection of facts about observed events that can be quantified, classified, and
examined for possible relations with other known facts. - ANSWER Description
Can suggest hypothesis, questions, or additional research ideas - ANSWER Description
Relative probability that when one events occurs, another event either will or will not
occur. Demonstrates correlation between events. - ANSWER Prediction
Must be based on repeated observations - ANSWER Prediction
Causal relationships can not be determined. Correlation does not mean causation. -
ANSWER Prediction
, Functional relations can be derived. Specific change in one event can reliably be
produced by specific manipulation of another event and the change in the dependent
variable was unlikely to be the result of other extraneous factors (confounding
variables). - ANSWER Control
The universe is a lawful and orderly place which all phenomena occur as the result of
other events. Events do not occur at will. Events are related in systematic ways. -
ANSWER Determinism
The practice of objective aberration of the phenomena of interest - ANSWER Empiricism
All scientific knowledge is built upon - ANSWER Empiricism
Controlled comparison of some measure of phenomena of interest dependent variable
under two or more different conditions in which only one factor at a time independent
variable differs from one condition to another. - ANSWER Experiment
The repeating of an experiment. How scientists determine the reliability and usefulness
of their experiments. Can be within an experiment or across experiments. - ANSWER
Replication
The principle that eliminates all simple explanations before considering more complex
or abstract explanations. - ANSWER Parsimony
The constant doubting of the truthfulness and validity of all scientific theory and
knowledge - ANSWER Philosophic doubt
A systematic approach to the understanding of natural phenomena as evidenced by
description, prediction, and control that relies on determinism as its fundamental
assumption, empiricism as its prime directive, experimentation as its basic strategy,
replication as its necessary requirement for believability, parsimony as its conservative
value, and philosophic doubt as its guiding conscience. - ANS Science definition
