No matter how careful you are in your research, you will eventually discover some data that does not fit your understanding of the situation. What do you do with it? Thomas Kuhn tells the story of some great leaps in science that were made when some researchers were convinced that certain data errors were not errors after all. Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to: Evaluate the historical knowledge creation process as it regards to the scientific revolution. Background Information The claim that the science on a particular topic is settled has been made many times in the past; scientists trained in a particular paradigm look at data and see one picture. Data that does not fit that picture must, therefore, be data errors. Thomas Kuhn presents a very interesting explanation of why some of the greatest leaps in science come from young scientists who see these “data errors” as the results of flaws in our theories. The Microbe nature of disease, Theory of Relativity, and semiconductors all resulted from rejecting what science had settled and seeking answers to all the data, not just the data that fit into conventional wisdom. As you begin to conduct your own research, Kuhn’s work can be helpful in keeping you from writing off data as erroneous and perhaps coming to new understandings of the world in which we live. Prepare a discussion posting of at least 500 words that answers the following questions: Evaluate Kuhn's perspective on scientific revolutions in terms of how it connects with Arbnor and Bjerke's delineation of the research models. Are the paradigms identified by Arbnor and Bjerke consistent with Kuhn's discussion of paradigmatic advancement of knowledge? Are there any issues with Kuhn's key points in how knowledge advances? What are the advantages of a "paradigmatic approach?" What are the disadvantages? Thomas Kuhn: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, 4th edition (2012) .

Science v Pseudoscience: What’s the Difference? - Kevin Korb
Science has a certain common core, especially a reliance on empirical methods of assessing hypotheses. Pseudosciences have little in common but their negation: they are not science.
They reject meaningful empirical assessment in some way or another. Popper proposed a clear demarcation criterion for Science v Rubbish: Falsifiability. However, his criterion has not stood the test of time. There are no definitive arguments against any pseudoscience, any more than against extreme skepticism in general, but there are clear indicators of phoniness.

1. TEN MYTHS OF SCIENCE: REEXAMINING WHAT WE THINK WE KNOW...
W. McComas 1996
This article addresses and attempts to refute several of the most widespread and enduring misconceptions held by students regarding the enterprise of science. The ten myths discussed include the common notions that theories become laws, that hypotheses are best characterized as educated guesses, and that there is a commonly-applied scientific method. In addition, the article includes discussion of other incorrect ideas such as the view that evidence leads to sure knowledge, that science and its methods provide absolute proof, and that science is not a creative endeavor. Finally, the myths that scientists are objective, that experiments are the sole route to scientific knowledge and that scientific conclusions are continually reviewed conclude this presentation. The paper ends with a plea that instruction in and opportunities to experience the nature of science are vital in preservice and inservice teacher education programs to help unseat the myths of science.
Myths are typically defined as traditional views, fables, legends or stories. As such, myths can be entertaining and even educational since they help people make sense of the world. In fact, the explanatory role of myths most likely accounts for their development, spread and persistence. However, when fact and fiction blur, myths lose their entertainment value and serve only to block full understanding. Such is the case with the myths of science.
Scholar Joseph Campbell (1968) has proposed that the similarity among many folk myths worldwide is due to a subconscious link between all peoples, but no such link can explain the myths of science. Misconceptions about science are most likely due to the lack of philosophy of science content in teacher education programs, the failure of such programs to provide and require authentic science experiences for preservice teachers and the generally shallow treatment of the nature of science in the precollege textbooks to which teachers might turn for guidance.
As Steven Jay Gould points out in The Case of the Creeping Fox Terrier Clone (1988), science textbook writers are among the most egregious purveyors of myth and inaccuracy. The fox terrier mentioned in the title refers to the classic comparison used to express the size of the dawn horse, the tiny precursor to the modem horse. This comparison is unfortunate for two reasons. Not only was this horse ancestor much bigger than a fox terrier, but the fox terrier breed of dog is virtually unknown to American students. The major criticism leveled by Gould is that once this comparison took hold, no one bothered to check its validity or utility. Through time, one author after another simply repeated the inept comparison and continued a tradition that has made many science texts virtual clones of each other on this and countless other points.

Kuhn vs. Popper
The researcher faces many challenges in establishing valid theories. Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn both sought to provide frameworks to help with this struggle. Popper advocated for falsification, where a theory can only be considered valid if it can be proven false. Kuhn argued that accepted paradigms can hinder progress and proposed a model of shifting paradigms through questioning established ideas. While Popper's strict standards are difficult to apply to educational research given its complex variables, Kuhn's emphasis on constant questioning provides a better approach for the field. Both recognize the difficulty but importance of the researcher establishing valid theories through rigorous testing of ideas.
Thomas kuhn and paradigm shift
Thomas Kuhn was an American physicist and philosopher who developed influential ideas in the philosophy of science. He is best known for his book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, which argued that science progresses through periods of normal science punctuated by revolutionary paradigm shifts. Kuhn proposed that during normal science, scientists work within an established theoretical framework, but major crises can lead to revolutionary changes in scientific theories.
Challenges to Science Philosophy and Theory
This document provides an overview of challenges to science philosophy and theory in the 20th century. It discusses how science moved from an overly strict empiricist view in the early 1900s to incorporate more moderate philosophies. Key challenges included the problem of induction, demarcating science from non-science, and theoretical issues raised by Kuhn and the Duhem-Quine thesis. The document examines proposed solutions from philosophers like Popper, Kuhn, Quine, and Laudan. It argues that science can understand reality using evidentiary theories, without needing perfect truths, and that Laudan provided clarity on evaluating and choosing between theories.

POL SOC 360 Science Society Social Research
This document discusses key concepts in the philosophy of science. It defines science as a systematic method of investigating natural processes through empirical evidence and logical reasoning. Some key aspects covered include the use of induction and deduction, falsifiability, Thomas Kuhn's ideas of normal and revolutionary science, and different research methodologies in social sciences like qualitative and quantitative analysis. The document also addresses common errors and biases that can occur in the scientific process.
The Normative Structure Of Science
The document discusses Thomas Kuhn's work "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" and his key concepts of paradigms, normal science, and scientific revolutions. Kuhn argued that science progresses through periods of normal science within a dominant paradigm, punctuated by scientific revolutions that result in a new paradigm taking hold. His work challenged the traditional view of science as a linear, cumulative process.

It also provides examples of important scientific discoveries and advances made throughout history.
Locke Inductive Theory Building
This document discusses the concept of inductive theory building in social sciences. It argues that theory building should be inductive rather than deductive. It critiques contemporary philosophy of science, such as Popper's falsifiability theory, for rejecting induction and embracing deduction. The document provides historical examples of successful inductive theory building in sciences, including Aristotle, Bacon, Newton, and theories in psychology. It concludes by suggesting guidelines for inductive theory building and policies journal editors could adopt to encourage this approach.
Thomas Samuel Kuhn’s Conceptual View on the Historical Philosophy of Science ...
This study emphasizes the Thomas Samuel Kuhn’s concept of paradigm as an intellectual framework.
Philosophers and historians of science, including Kuhn himself, ultimately accepted a modified version of Kuhn's model,
which synthesizes his original view with the gradualist model that preceded it. Think of a paradigm shift as a change
from one way of thinking to another, it’s a revolution, a transformation, a sort of metamorphosis. Kuhn’s influence has
been immense not only in the philosophy and history of science but also in other disciplines. His contributions showed a
shift from historical, psychological and sociological approach to a philosophical one.
Historical perspective of science by: Karl popper and thomas kuhn
It includes the historical perspective of science by two philosophers: Karl popper and Thomas Kuhn and the difference between their ideas.
Scientific Revolution
The document discusses Thomas Kuhn's theory of scientific revolutions as presented in his book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Specifically, it discusses how Kuhn used the chemical revolution as an example, with the phlogiston theory serving as a paradigm that was later replaced by Lavoisier's discovery of oxygen. The document also examines criticisms of Kuhn's view that paradigms are incommensurable and his stance that no paradigm is better than any other.
Nonsense On Stilts Summary
The document discusses where hypotheses come from in scientific research. It begins by defining a hypothesis as a suggested explanation for an observable phenomenon, event, or scientific problem that can be tested. Hypotheses are generated through a variety of methods, including making logical guesses based on prior knowledge, observing patterns in natural phenomena, and testing ideas to find connections between variables. The document emphasizes that hypotheses allow scientists to make predictions that can be empirically tested, with hypotheses that are supported being elevated to theories and those not supported being rejected or refined.
Current epistemological theory
The document discusses several current epistemological theories of science:
1. Evolutionary epistemology views the development of human knowledge as proceeding through a natural selection process of variation, selection, and retention, influenced by both biological and cultural factors.
2. Kuhn's paradigm model describes normal science within a stable paradigm and revolutionary science during a paradigm shift caused by anomalies. Paradigm shifts are incommensurable and influenced by social factors.
3. Lakatos' methodology of scientific research programs defines a "hard core" of theories protected by a belt of testable hypotheses. Progress is determined by explanatory and predictive power rather than falsification.
4. The strong program in sociology of science, like
On Pragmatism and Scientific Freedom
This document discusses pragmatism and scientific freedom. It argues that pragmatism is a flexible approach that allows researchers to use what works best for their particular study. Pragmatism advocates using theories and approaches if they prove useful, without worrying about philosophical concepts like objective reality. Adopting pragmatism could help fight against rigid scientific structures and allow for more independent, free science. The document also discusses how science has been dominated by institutions and biased by money and politics. It argues that science should be free from such influences and restrictions on knowledge production and sharing.
Unit 3. Anything goes?
The document summarizes the perspectives of Thomas Kuhn, Paul Feyerabend, and Imre Lakatos on the philosophy of science. Thomas Kuhn argued that science progresses through paradigms and paradigm shifts, rather than through a uniform progression. Paul Feyerabend believed there is no rational scientific progress even within paradigms, and that creativity and social factors are more important. Imre Lakatos sought to balance rational scientific progress with Kuhn's ideas by proposing research programs that allow for development over time.
WRI Essay
This document provides a summary and analysis of the case of Jan Hendrik Schön, a physicist who committed widespread scientific fraud in the early 2000s. It discusses how Schön rapidly rose through the ranks of the scientific community, publishing groundbreaking research at an unprecedented rate. However, his work was found to contain fabricated and duplicated data. The document analyzes Schön's fraud through the lens of sociological theories of science. It argues that the competitive nature of science and pressures to publish created incentives for Schön to commit misconduct. Additionally, Schön's excessive trust in established scientific literature and vulnerability to social pressures may have contributed to his willingness to fabricate data. The document concludes that while Schön was responsible for his actions,

Now the Earth has had wide variations in atmospheric CO2-level throu.docx
Now the Earth has had wide variations in atmospheric CO2-level throughout its long history before the evolution of humans and certainly before the Industrial Revolutions.In terms of the oceans and the Earth's whole history then could you find information to support the coal and oil industry's claims that we're NOT the cause of climate change? Do some research and cite other factors in climate besides CO2 levels that would support your claims. Also read the attached article about the controversy. Remember too that there is a lot of money and certainly politics involved in this issue. Some scientists have built their whole careers on trying to prove or disprove the human connections to global warming.
As you'll see when you do your research the figures for sea-level rise are all over the place. That's because they're based on models that are even more complex than hurricane tracking models (they drive even supercomputers nuts).
Now the term
"sea-level"
is relative. If you check a geologic map you'll see that just about every piece of land on Earth has been underwater at least once. That's why sedimentary rocks are the most common type of land surface rock. Sea-level has been up and down thousands of times in the Earth's long history. We're just living on the "latest edition" of our planet. Also the one thing that I want everybody to learn from this course: we live on the Earth and we certainly affect it but
we
DO NOT control it
even though we like to think we do. We're just riding this wet rock through space.
As for the continuing scientific controversy check out this recent article:

Clinical mentors were interviewed about their experiences mentoring culturally and linguistically diverse nursing students. Mentors stated that empathy motivated them but they experienced a lack of support which caused strain. While mentors initially had fears of unknown cultures, positive mentoring experiences reduced this fear. Continuous education on intercultural communication could help mentors develop expertise to benefit students, patients, and staff.
Now that you’ve seen all of the elements contributing to the Devil’s.docx
Now that you’ve seen all of the elements contributing to the Devil’s Canyon enterprise architecture, Justin wants to move forward with developing privacy policies to ensure videos aren’t distributed or uploaded to the net without the consent of the people in them. This opens a much larger conversation: Devil’s Canyon is also in need of a complete security plan, as well as risk assessments.
In a 2- to 3-page rationale and table,
prepare
the following information to present to the Devil’s Canyon team:
Explain the relationship between policies and security plans. Identify potential policy needs, noting Justin’s privacy policy, in relation to the Devil’s Canyon enterprise structure.
Outline the importance of a security plan in relation to security roles and safeguards.
Analyze at least 5 security-related risks/threats that Devil’s Canyon may face.
Assess the probability and impact to the Devil’s Canyon if each risk occurs. Based on these two factors, determine the overall risk level. For purposes of this assignment, evaluate and categorize each factor as low, medium, or high, and create a table to illustrate the risks. For example, a risk/threat with a low likelihood of occurrence and a high impact would represent an overall medium risk.
Consider digital elements mentioned in the designing of the enterprise architecture, such as software, hardware, proposed security measures, smart lift tickets, web cam systems, and smartphones.

Professional Development Goals
The first thing that should be noted is that psych nursing is a recent academic option, which is highly relevant that more people are trained in it and help to broaden and deepen the scientific foundation of the care it offers. Although the psych nurses are already able to carry out different activities without the need for another health professional to indicate them, it is important that they can acquire greater independence so that their contribution is even greater, which is my first professional development goal. Therefore, the degree in psych nursing must be strengthened, with studies and evidence that allow the framework of the work of those who practice it to grow and, in turn, encourage its professionals to intervene promptly to avoid complicating the medical situation of a patient.

Nur-501-AP4- Philosophical and Theoretical Evidence-Based research
Watson’s philosophy and science of caring has four major concepts: human being, health, environment/society, and nursing Butts & Rich, 2015). In Watson’s view, the disease might be cured, but illness would remain because, without caring, health is not attained. Caring is the essence of nursing and connotes responsiveness between the nurse and the person; the nurse co-participates with the person. Watson contends that caring can assist the person to gain control, become knowledgeable, and promote health changes.
According to Watson (2009), the core of the Theory of Caring is that “humans cannot be treated as objects and that humans cannot be separated from self, other, nature, and the larger workforce.” Her theory encompasses the whole world of nursing; with the emphasis placed on the interpersonal process between the caregiver and care recipient. The theory is focused on “the centrality of human caring and on the caring-to-caring transpersonal relationship and its healing potential for both the one who is caring and the one who is being cared for” (Watson, 2009). The structure for the science of caring is built upon ten carative factors. Among them are human altruistic values, faith-hope, sensitivity to one’s self or other, trust, human caring relationship, and promotion of self-expression (.
Watson defines Human being as a valued person to be cared for, respected, nurtured, understood, and assisted, in general a philosophical view of a person as a fully functional integrated self. Personhood is viewed as greater than and different from the sum of his or her parts which are mind-body-soul-connection (Butt & Rich 2015)
The personhood concept in Watson theory of caring implies that patients are not all the same. Each person brings a unique background of experiences, values, and cultural perspective to health care encounter. Caring facilitates a nurse’s ability to know a patient, allowing the nurse to recognize a patient’s problem and find and implement individualized solution on the patient’s unique needs.
Knowing the person allows the nurse to avoid assumptions, to center on the one cared for (Keller, 2013). It also gives the nurse to opportunity to assess thoroughly by seeking clues to clarify the issue that the individual is going through.
The concept of personhood also integrates the human caring processes with healing environment, incorporating the life-generating and life receiving processes of human caring and healing for nurses and their patient. The concept put emphasis on developing a caring relationship with the person as a nurse and listen to the person’ stories to fully understand the meaning an impact of the individual’s condition. This information and understanding helps in the development and delivery of individualized patient centered care. The transpersonal caring theory rejects disease orientation to health care and places care before cure. When the .

Abstract
With obesity affecting approximately 12.5 million American youth,
population-level interventions are indicated to help support healthy
behaviors. The purpose of this review is to provide a summary of
population-level intervention strategies and specific intervention exam-
ples that illustrate ways to help prevent and control obesity in children
through improving nutrition and physical activity behaviors. Informa-
tion is summarized within the settings where children live, learn, and
play (early care and education, school, community, health care, home).
Intervention strategies are activities or changes intended to promote
healthful behaviors in children. They were identified from (a) systematic
reviews; (b) evidence- and expert consensus–based recommendations,
guidelines, or standards from nongovernmental or federal agencies;
and finally (c) peer-reviewed synthesis reviews. Intervention examples
illustrate how at least one of the strategies was used in a particular
setting. To identify interventions examples, we considered (a) peer-
reviewed literature as well as (b) additional sources with research-tested
and practice-based initiatives. Researchers and practitioners may use
this review as they set priorities and promote integration across settings
and to find research- and practice-tested intervention examples that can
be replicated in their communities for childhood obesity prevention.

Tok science nothingnerdy
This document presents information about science and the scientific process through a series of slides. It discusses key concepts like the scientific method, paradigm shifts, peer review, and the relationship between science, ethics, and culture. It also provides examples of important scientific discoveries and advances made throughout history.
Locke Inductive Theory Building
This document discusses the concept of inductive theory building in social sciences. It argues that theory building should be inductive rather than deductive. It critiques contemporary philosophy of science, such as Popper's falsifiability theory, for rejecting induction and embracing deduction. The document provides historical examples of successful inductive theory building in sciences, including Aristotle, Bacon, Newton, and theories in psychology. It concludes by suggesting guidelines for inductive theory building and policies journal editors could adopt to encourage this approach.
Thomas Samuel Kuhn’s Conceptual View on the Historical Philosophy of Science ...
This study emphasizes the Thomas Samuel Kuhn’s concept of paradigm as an intellectual framework.
Philosophers and historians of science, including Kuhn himself, ultimately accepted a modified version of Kuhn's model,
which synthesizes his original view with the gradualist model that preceded it. Think of a paradigm shift as a change
from one way of thinking to another, it’s a revolution, a transformation, a sort of metamorphosis. Kuhn’s influence has
been immense not only in the philosophy and history of science but also in other disciplines. His contributions showed a
shift from historical, psychological and sociological approach to a philosophical one.
Historical perspective of science by: Karl popper and thomas kuhn
It includes the historical perspective of science by two philosophers: Karl popper and Thomas Kuhn and the difference between their ideas.
Scientific Revolution
The document discusses Thomas Kuhn's theory of scientific revolutions as presented in his book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Specifically, it discusses how Kuhn used the chemical revolution as an example, with the phlogiston theory serving as a paradigm that was later replaced by Lavoisier's discovery of oxygen. The document also examines criticisms of Kuhn's view that paradigms are incommensurable and his stance that no paradigm is better than any other.
Nonsense On Stilts Summary
The document discusses where hypotheses come from in scientific research. It begins by defining a hypothesis as a suggested explanation for an observable phenomenon, event, or scientific problem that can be tested. Hypotheses are generated through a variety of methods, including making logical guesses based on prior knowledge, observing patterns in natural phenomena, and testing ideas to find connections between variables. The document emphasizes that hypotheses allow scientists to make predictions that can be empirically tested, with hypotheses that are supported being elevated to theories and those not supported being rejected or refined.
Current epistemological theory
The document discusses several current epistemological theories of science:
1. Evolutionary epistemology views the development of human knowledge as proceeding through a natural selection process of variation, selection, and retention, influenced by both biological and cultural factors.
2. Kuhn's paradigm model describes normal science within a stable paradigm and revolutionary science during a paradigm shift caused by anomalies. Paradigm shifts are incommensurable and influenced by social factors.
3. Lakatos' methodology of scientific research programs defines a "hard core" of theories protected by a belt of testable hypotheses. Progress is determined by explanatory and predictive power rather than falsification.
4. The strong program in sociology of science, like
On Pragmatism and Scientific Freedom
This document discusses pragmatism and scientific freedom. It argues that pragmatism is a flexible approach that allows researchers to use what works best for their particular study. Pragmatism advocates using theories and approaches if they prove useful, without worrying about philosophical concepts like objective reality. Adopting pragmatism could help fight against rigid scientific structures and allow for more independent, free science. The document also discusses how science has been dominated by institutions and biased by money and politics. It argues that science should be free from such influences and restrictions on knowledge production and sharing.
Unit 3. Anything goes?
The document summarizes the perspectives of Thomas Kuhn, Paul Feyerabend, and Imre Lakatos on the philosophy of science. Thomas Kuhn argued that science progresses through paradigms and paradigm shifts, rather than through a uniform progression. Paul Feyerabend believed there is no rational scientific progress even within paradigms, and that creativity and social factors are more important. Imre Lakatos sought to balance rational scientific progress with Kuhn's ideas by proposing research programs that allow for development over time.
WRI Essay
This document provides a summary and analysis of the case of Jan Hendrik Schön, a physicist who committed widespread scientific fraud in the early 2000s. It discusses how Schön rapidly rose through the ranks of the scientific community, publishing groundbreaking research at an unprecedented rate. However, his work was found to contain fabricated and duplicated data. The document analyzes Schön's fraud through the lens of sociological theories of science. It argues that the competitive nature of science and pressures to publish created incentives for Schön to commit misconduct. Additionally, Schön's excessive trust in established scientific literature and vulnerability to social pressures may have contributed to his willingness to fabricate data. The document concludes that while Schön was responsible for his actions,

Now the Earth has had wide variations in atmospheric CO2-level throu.docx
Now the Earth has had wide variations in atmospheric CO2-level throughout its long history before the evolution of humans and certainly before the Industrial Revolutions.In terms of the oceans and the Earth's whole history then could you find information to support the coal and oil industry's claims that we're NOT the cause of climate change? Do some research and cite other factors in climate besides CO2 levels that would support your claims. Also read the attached article about the controversy. Remember too that there is a lot of money and certainly politics involved in this issue. Some scientists have built their whole careers on trying to prove or disprove the human connections to global warming.
As you'll see when you do your research the figures for sea-level rise are all over the place. That's because they're based on models that are even more complex than hurricane tracking models (they drive even supercomputers nuts).
Now the term
"sea-level"
is relative. If you check a geologic map you'll see that just about every piece of land on Earth has been underwater at least once. That's why sedimentary rocks are the most common type of land surface rock. Sea-level has been up and down thousands of times in the Earth's long history. We're just living on the "latest edition" of our planet. Also the one thing that I want everybody to learn from this course: we live on the Earth and we certainly affect it but
we
DO NOT control it
even though we like to think we do. We're just riding this wet rock through space.

While mentors initially had fears of unknown cultures, positive mentoring experiences reduced this fear. Continuous education on intercultural communication could help mentors develop expertise to benefit students, patients, and staff.
Now that you’ve seen all of the elements contributing to the Devil’s.docx
Now that you’ve seen all of the elements contributing to the Devil’s Canyon enterprise architecture, Justin wants to move forward with developing privacy policies to ensure videos aren’t distributed or uploaded to the net without the consent of the people in them. This opens a much larger conversation: Devil’s Canyon is also in need of a complete security plan, as well as risk assessments.
In a 2- to 3-page rationale and table,
prepare
the following information to present to the Devil’s Canyon team:
Explain the relationship between policies and security plans. Identify potential policy needs, noting Justin’s privacy policy, in relation to the Devil’s Canyon enterprise structure.
Outline the importance of a security plan in relation to security roles and safeguards.
Analyze at least 5 security-related risks/threats that Devil’s Canyon may face.
Assess the probability and impact to the Devil’s Canyon if each risk occurs. Based on these two factors, determine the overall risk level. For purposes of this assignment, evaluate and categorize each factor as low, medium, or high, and create a table to illustrate the risks. For example, a risk/threat with a low likelihood of occurrence and a high impact would represent an overall medium risk.
Consider digital elements mentioned in the designing of the enterprise architecture, such as software, hardware, proposed security measures, smart lift tickets, web cam systems, and smartphones.

The first thing that should be noted is that psych nursing is a recent academic option, which is highly relevant that more people are trained in it and help to broaden and deepen the scientific foundation of the care it offers. Although the psych nurses are already able to carry out different activities without the need for another health professional to indicate them, it is important that they can acquire greater independence so that their contribution is even greater, which is my first professional development goal. Therefore, the degree in psych nursing must be strengthened, with studies and evidence that allow the framework of the work of those who practice it to grow and, in turn, encourage its professionals to intervene promptly to avoid complicating the medical situation of a patient.
I would like to be supportive, have a vocation for service, be responsible, and be organized. It is these basic qualities that will allow me to develop a nursing career. The organization and responsibility would be oriented there because the nurse, by nat.

Nur-501-AP4- Philosophical and Theoretical Evidence-Based research
Watson’s philosophy and science of caring has four major concepts: human being, health, environment/society, and nursing Butts & Rich, 2015). In Watson’s view, the disease might be cured, but illness would remain because, without caring, health is not attained. Caring is the essence of nursing and connotes responsiveness between the nurse and the person; the nurse co-participates with the person. Watson contends that caring can assist the person to gain control, become knowledgeable, and promote health changes.
According to Watson (2009), the core of the Theory of Caring is that “humans cannot be treated as objects and that humans cannot be separated from self, other, nature, and the larger workforce.” Her theory encompasses the whole world of nursing; with the emphasis placed on the interpersonal process between the caregiver and care recipient. The theory is focused on “the centrality of human caring and on the caring-to-caring transpersonal relationship and its healing potential for both the one who is caring and the one who is being cared for” (Watson, 2009). The structure for the science of caring is built upon ten carative factors. Among them are human altruistic values, faith-hope, sensitivity to one’s self or other, trust, human caring relationship, and promotion of self-expression (.
Watson defines Human being as a valued person to be cared for, respected, nurtured, understood, and assisted, in general a philosophical view of a person as a fully functional integrated self. Personhood is viewed as greater than and different from the sum of his or her parts which are mind-body-soul-connection (Butt & Rich 2015)
The personhood concept in Watson theory of caring implies that patients are not all the same. Each person brings a unique background of experiences, values, and cultural perspective to health care encounter.

Purpose
This assignment is designed to help students lay the groundwork for their project plans with the help of mentors and professors. The mentor becomes a team member for the project that the student will manage. The student will identify the stakeholders, the project priority, how the measurable goals will be met for a successful project, and who will receive the report of the results of the project. The scope document describes the parameters of the project, including what can and cannot be accomplished and the measurable objectives and outcome measures. The project charter describes and defines the project. When the sponsor signs off on the project, it becomes the document that authorizes the project.
Week 2, you will complete the project scope and charter. Based on the information from the mentor and professor, each student finalizes and completes the project charter and scope documents or statements. The project scope must be approved by your practicum organization. Your mentor should help you obtain approval. Project approval must be received prior to submitting these documents.

No matter how careful you are in your research, you will eventually .docx
- 1. No matter how careful you are in your research, you will eventually discover some data that does not fit your understanding of the situation. What do you do with it? Thomas Kuhn tells the story of some great leaps in science that were made when some researchers were convinced that certain data errors were not errors after all. Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to: Evaluate the historical knowledge creation process as it regards to the scientific revolution. Background Information The claim that the science on a particular topic is settled has been made many times in the past; scientists trained in a particular paradigm look at data and see one picture. Data that does not fit that picture must, therefore, be data errors. Thomas Kuhn presents a very interesting explanation of why some of the greatest leaps in science come from young scientists who see these “data errors” as the results of flaws in our theories. The Microbe nature of disease, Theory of Relativity, and semiconductors all resulted from rejecting what science had settled and seeking answers to all the data, not just the data that fit into conventional wisdom. As you begin to conduct your own research, Kuhn’s work can be helpful in keeping you from writing off data as erroneous and perhaps coming to new understandings of the world in which we live.
- 2. Prepare a discussion posting of at least 500 words that answers the following questions: Evaluate Kuhn's perspective on scientific revolutions in terms of how it connects with Arbnor and Bjerke's delineation of the research models. Are the paradigms identified by Arbnor and Bjerke consistent with Kuhn's discussion of paradigmatic advancement of knowledge? Are there any issues with Kuhn's key points in how knowledge advances? What are the advantages of a "paradigmatic approach?" What are the disadvantages? Thomas Kuhn: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, 4th edition (2012)
