He was arguing in favour of the position taken by Karl Popper in The Logic of Scientific Discovery (1972‚ 3rd edition) that the nature of scientific method is hypothetico-deductive and not‚ as is generally believed‚ inductive. B It is essential that you‚ as an intending researcher‚ understand the difference between these two interpretations of the

Census Method All items in any field of inquiry constitute a ‘ Universe ’ or ‘ Population.’ A complete enumeration of all items in the population is known as a census inquiry. It can be presumed that in such an enquiry‚ when all items are covered‚ no element of chance is left and highest accuracy is obtained. But in practice this may not be true. Even the slightest element of bias in such an inquiry will get larger and larger as the number of observation increases

The Direct Method Introduction The method that will be analyzed in this paper is one which allows the students to be taught through the creativity of the teacher. Instead of relaying only in detailed grammar explanations‚ the direct method is characterized by resourceful aids which permit to develop a dynamic set of explanations for the students to have a better understanding. Taking into consideration that the reader has a full knowledge about this method‚ I will expose my opinion about its usage

Welding is a method for the permanent assembly of metal parts. Arc welding can be divided at least three classes: arc welding‚ gas welding‚ and resistance welding. 1) Arc welding: Heat is generated by an electric arc and the parts are simply fused together and became one. In some cases electrode is used that provides a filler material. 2) Gas welding: The burning gas (oxygen and acetylene) raises the temperature of the part to be joined and a welding rod provides filler material. 3) Resistance
