Aims of Research as a Scientific ActivitySahin Sahari
Aims of Research as a Scientific Activity
Problem- solving | Theory Building | Prediction
Scientific Activity-
Scientific activity is the activities of recognizing that personal and cultural beliefs influence both our perceptions and our interpretations of natural phenomena.
It provides a means to formulate questions about general observations and devise theories of explanation.
The approach lends itself to answering questions in fair and unbiased statements, a long as questions are posed correctly, in a hypothetical form that can be tested.
Aims of Research-
To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insights into it.
To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a group.
To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is associated with something else.
To test a hypothesis of a causal relationship between variables.
1. Problem Solving-
Problem solving refers to the ability to use knowledge, facts and data to effectively solve problems.
This doesn’t mean you need to have an immediate answer, it means you have to be able to think on your feet, assess problems and find solutions.
Steps involved in Problem Solving
Confronting the problems
Collection of evidence
Formulating possible solution of hypothesis
Evaluating the sustainability of solutions
Testing the possible solutions
Arriving at conclusions.
2. Theory Building
Meaning of Theory Building: The process of building a statement of concepts and their interrelationships that shows how and/or why a phenomenon occurs.
Theory: A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment.
Steps of Theory Building
-Theories
-Propositions
-Concepts
-Observation of objects and events
3. Prediction
It is a statement about a future event in research.
Predictions are usually stated as hypotheses, i.e. clear statements which can be subjected to scientific verification.
Dalton plan is a very interesting method in teaching Mathematics and other science subjects. I think this is the best method that we can use in schools to teach all type of students. Because this method encourages self paced learning. It increases the confidence level of students and make them self reliable.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. INTRODUCTION
• Scientific method is a systematic and orderly method of
teaching or acquiring knowledge.
• It is a method of studying and learning about the world through
inquiry.
• Scientific Method is a child –centered way of learning.
• Scientific method enables a student ‘how to think’ rather than
‘what to think’.
3. The steps of the Scientific Method are:
• Ask a question.
• Observation/Research
• Make a hypothesis.
• Test the hypothesis with an experiment.
• Analyze the results of the experiment.
• Draw a conclusion.
• Communicate results.
4. Steps of the Scientific Method
1. Ask a Question
• The scientific method starts when you ask a question about
something that you observe: How, What, When, Who, Which, Why,
or Where?
2. Observation/Research
• Make observation and research on the topic.
5. • 3. Construct a Hypothesis
• A hypothesis is an educated guess about how things work.It
predicts what will be the answer. A good hypothesis allows you to
make a prediction:
• 4. Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
• Your experiment tests whether your prediction is accurate and thus
your hypothesis is supported or not.
6. • 5. Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
• Once your experiment is complete, you collect your measurements
and analyze them to see if they support your hypothesis or not.
• 6. Share Your Results
• Share your results so that others can also utilize it.
8. Objectives of Scientific method:
• to develop the scientific attitude
• to develop the scientific temper
• to aware the problems affiliated with science
• to know the relationship between the nature and biotic factors.
• to have the curiosity and creativity in Science and its applications.
• to acquire the skills of
data collection,
data processing and analysis,
deriving the conclusion,
validating the results and
application of the facts (validated methods and results)
9. Merits of Scientific Method.
• -
• Learners always try to solve their problem themselves
• -
• Learning process is independent
• -
• Highly motivated learning by experience is also felt
• -
• Learning by doing enhances the motivation and self confidence in learning.
• -
• Learner solves the problems scientifically and arrive new valid solutions too.
• -
• Learner receives good skills and training from the scientific method
• -
• Learners can develop their skills in data collection and analysis.
10. LIMITATIONS OF SCIENTIFIC METHOD
• Time consuming
• Learners need to work hard for a longer duration
• There will be no facilities available for some problems
• If teacher is not competent in this method entire teaching-
learning process
11. CONCLUSION
• It is evident that if the scientific method is followed by the teachers and
students in the class room, the teaching-learning process would be effective.
• Scientific method trains the student how to find an answer to a question
in a logical manner.
• By using a standardized approach in their investigations, students can feel
confident that they will stick to the facts and limit the influence of
personal, preconceived notions.
12. ‘Teach a student how to think not what
to think.’
