Propose that status of science is only acquired when there is a ___

Is not to find general laws and causal statements

Natural sciences (----)

There is no real world but the world is socially constructed hence dependent from a particular time or culture

Scientific research programmes

Can be understand subjectively

Is about not abandoning the previous theory that was falsified or does not fit with existing paradigm in order to utilize the new theory but instead it's about providing an alternative in order to better explain phenomena which the previous theory failed to explain

Usually employ qualitative methods

They govern theory and practice of science

Imre lakatos

An inadequate theory is not totally abandoned, but is strengthened by more adequate one (both research belong to one research programme)

Human science as seek to understand (not explain mechanically) human phenomena

Seek to explain phenomena in terms of cause and effect

Natural sciences vs human (spirit) sciences

For a claim to be scientific, there must be a way to test if it is false

Proposed that scientific theories are part of broader structures

Emphasizes the subjective nature of human experience and the importance of context. This paradigms posist that knowledge is constructed through social interaction and cultural understanding rather than being discovered through empirical observation alone

Can find stable law like reality out there we only have to discover them

Thomas kuhn

Seek to produce understanding and interpretation that are context-specific

It concerns the questions of how the world is built

We can find evidence that can test or invalidate a proposition, in which we can say that proposition may be false, given the evidence or proofs, the theory might be false

Is a philosophical approach that emphasizes empirical evidence scientific methods. It is grounded in the belief knowledge should be derived from observable phenomena and that understanding can be achieved through objective analysis

Seek to produce universal law and theories

Seek to produce natural laws that can generate natural phenomena

Wilhelm dilthey

They supply puzzles for scientist to solve and to provide the tools for their solutions

There is a real word that is independent from our knowledge and upon this foundations life is built

Is the theory of knowledge or how do you acquire knowledge

The criterion status of a theory is its ______, _______, or _____

Karl popper

What are the main criterion of science

Is a set of beliefs, values, and instruments and techniques scientist share to understand and explains scientific problems

Falsification

Ultimate aim is to find general laws and causal statements about social phenomena

Statements are scientific when they adhere to the paradigm

They look to understand social behavior interpret its meaning or rather than explain it all formal outsider perspective or viewpoint

Paradigm

They look for explanation of behavior, not the meaning

Is the nature of being(nature reality)

Can be explained objectively

Would use quantitative methods as research tools, as these are objective and the result generalized and replicable

Human (spirit) sciences
