The way man saw the heavens‚ understood the world around him‚ and healed his own body dramatically changed. So did the way he understood God and the Church. The result was a revolution in both the sense of causing an upheavalof ideasand consisting of not just one‚ but many scientific advancements. This paper will look first

as a guide in conducting investigation. Briefly stated‚ the conceptual framework for the teaching of science can be: The effectiveness of a science instructional program depends upon the qualifications of the teachers‚ the effectiveness of their methods and strategies of teaching‚ the adequacy of facilities‚ the adequacy of supervisory assistance‚ and the elimination of the problems hampering the progress. Currently‚ however‚ most theses do not have a discussion of their conceptual frameworks

made an impact on the introduction of the 8 hour working day‚ minimum wage rates and incentive and bonus schemes‚ and more importantly‚ highlighted management as an important area of study‚ allowing for other theorists to improve on‚ or provide alternative management theories in response to scientific management such as more worker orientated theories‚ namely behavioural management. Taylor’s ideals have however been under constant scrutiny as managers highlight the shortfalls of scientific management

The Scientific Process is commonly represented as a linear process‚ but is better represented by a web or cyclic process because there is no distinct beginning or end. The cyclic process shows that there is no pattern to the process of science‚ and that one discovery can lead to a whole new process. Scientists can’t precisely predict exactly where their research might take them. The linear process shown in textbooks does not accurately portray the Scientific Method. It only shows one distinct path

Due to the means of the scientific method‚ the structure of the atom and the composition of the stars‚ the mechanisms for growth‚ the cause of disease and cures or infection‚ and also the blueprint for life have all been discovered. The scientific method has many great functions that all evolve from the inquiry of a problem
