You Kalubovitiyana Soratha Thero are right to state that education is the key to economic progress, in individual and social terms; a learning that pays will lead to earning. Therefore, educational programs should be simple, practical and accessible.
______
The proper education of the young does not consist in stuffing their heads with a mass of words, sentences, and ideas dragged together out of various authors, but in opening up their understanding to the outer world, so that a living stream may flow from their own minds, just as leaves, flowers, and fruit spring from the bud on a tree.

Dear Elahe Afrookhteh, in Physics & my country it was like that:
A major in education in Physics allows teaching in secondary school, the subject of Physics.
A major in Physics allows teaching in universities, Physics for research. To teach in secondary school Physics, they need at least a minor in Education in Physics (two years more in our case for a pure scientist).

Collaborative Learning vs. Direct Instruction
Relevant answer
Answer
The best way to teach science is cooperative learning based on problem solving. The steps of the method are as follows:
1- Raising the problem: in which the teacher presents a set of information, data, or scientific phenomena that arouse students’ interest in the problem under study.
2- Defining the problem: in which the teacher helps the students to formulate the problem and define it in one or more questions in an accurate way.
3- Suggesting solutions: in which the teacher encourages students to present a set of ideas or proposed solutions to the problem that is the subject of the lesson.
4- Discussing solutions: in which the teacher directs the students to test ideas and proposed solutions to the problem, relying on the information and data previously collected.
5- Reaching the best solution: in which the teacher, in partnership with his students, chooses the most appropriate proposed solutions.
6- Generalization: in which the students, under the supervision of the teacher, generalize the results they have reached in solving the problem that is the subject of the lesson.

Yes, in my country, the Scopus indexing base is considered one of the most important. The Scopus database is recognized as the main scientific database for the indexation of scientific publications characterized by high citation. However, on a global scale, the bases of indexing scientific publications recognized in various countries by various centers and scientific institutions are at least a dozen or so. However, these various indexing bases are not usually fully comparable, they are functionally differentiated and thanks to that they are only partially substitutable, but more often they are complementary. The question of complementarity should be developed. Then it will serve the development of scientific research and international cooperation of scientific communities.
In view of the above, I am asking you with the following question: Is the Scopus database recognized in your country as the main database for the indexation of scientific publications?
And if not the Scopus database, which other database of publications and scientific journals is considered the most important in your country?
Do you agree with me on the above matter?

Dear Dr. Dariusz Prokopowicz , I hold similar views - Dr. Avishag Gordon.
In India, the University (where I work) and many other Universities started seriously considering the Scopus index for Ph.D thesis submission ( 2 articles in scopus indexed journals), promotion (computing scores), and research grants (to assess quality of research undertaken so far) and Ph.D guideship (atleast 2 in scopus or SCI or SSCI)....
So, the point is Scopus is gaining acceptance/importance but there are other indexes too...considered equally important.

From antiquity, philosophy has given inspiration for the development of other sciences. Some teachings come from specific trends in the history of philosophical thought. Currently, philosophy can give conceptual inspiration for creating new concepts for other sciences and for creating innovative solutions.
Please reply. I invite you to the discussion
Relevant answer
Answer
Philosophy teaches us how to think. It is not a "science", a set of "sciences", and has not any compromises with ideas of "innovation", "creativity", even less with "technology", "design" and all the other words that are nowadays used and abused around knowledge. However, philosophy is indispensable for sciences, scientific research, and knowledge innovation precisely because it illuminates how to ask, how to inquiry, and how to search for knowledgeable answers. Most of the main subjects of philosophy still are long-term inquiries on the meaning of life, moral conduct, the value of knowledge, human virtues, love, or justice that have been discussed for thousands of years, finding new answers and paths towards a meaningful humanistic life. Philosophy doesn't need to be innovative but only to be serious and profound, keeping epistemic requirements, logic processes, and ontological exactions. It is enough to maintain philosophy with its original wonderful meaning: philein and sophia or the love of wisdom.

A few days ago, I had a conversation with my 9-year old niece, where she seriously doubted the notion that computers could be smarter than humans. She argued that machines are only capable of solving specific problems assigned to them and can't be creative. I tried to explain to her about AI without undermining the credibility of her source of information ( an elementary school teacher).
I believe it has devastating consequences when we fail to provide humans with accurate information about AI from an early age. I would like to hear from experts in different fields, which is the best possible way to address this issue.
How do we explain to children that:
  • The first time in human history, we aren't the smartest creatures on the planet Earth.
  • AI is neither good nor bad, and it will fundamentally transform our lives in the near future.
Relevant answer
Answer
We don't usually teach children about AI. The closest most will get to an AI is a Roomba, one of their programmable toys, or targeted ads on the internet. I also do not believe that a computer can be smarter than a person as we program them to be able to solve certain problems.

What should be the most important criteria for appointment to the career steps in universities? What are the conditions deserve to progress on the career steps? What are the conditions of advancement in your country? Do you think these criteria are objective and correct criteria for academic advancement? Is should common criteria develop all over the world?
Relevant answer
Answer
Generally, the main indicators of research quality are gross numbers of publications, publication in journals deemed to be ranked highly, publication by commercial publishers, high levels of publication citation, international recognition, competitive grants, and completed supervisions of research degrees. While these are used to varying extents as indicators of research quality, their relevance must be considered in light of discipline-specific considerations.
I believe that whatever the country, academic promotions should be tied to the under-listed criteria.
1. Sustained performance – performing at the standard expected for the bottom quartile of the level above the current level of appointment
2. Superior performance– performing at the standard expected at the midpoint of the level above the current level of appointment
3. Outstanding performance – performing at the standard expected between the midpoint and the top quartile of the level above the current level of appointment
4. Outstanding Plus performance – performing at the standard expected of the top quartile of the level above the current level of appointment

Question

Should the world of science be fully independent of other organizations, autonomous with respect to various pressure groups and lobbies, apolitical and thus fully objective in the conducted research and opinions issued on the conducted research, developed fields of science and interpretation of research results? Should the world of science have traits of transcendentalism, the possibility of a holistic approach to the complex, including international and global problems? The information globalization that is growing thanks to the development of the Internet may facilitate these processes. It is also necessary to develop independent, objective media in which comments to scientific research results published in scientific publications appear.
The development of science has always been determined by the progress of civilization, equipment of the national economy in specific production factors and in productive, intellectual, developmental capacity, etc. Currently, in the technical, biotechnology, IT, medical, etc., the importance of the development of scientific research, results in the form of new patents, innovative technologies and new technical improvements are applied in industry and become key new production factors that increase the country's economic development and raise the standard of civilian life of citizens. There are more and more clusters, within which enterprises cooperate with science centers, with universities and scientific institutes aimed at directing research to create innovative solutions that will quickly find practical applications in industry. There are more and more examples of cooperation of public institutions, science institutions with commercially operating business entities.
Increasingly, large industrial corporations create their own research laboratories. On the other hand, more and more institutes of science assume technological startups based on innovative technological, product, service or other solutions. Universities cooperating with universities help in designing and improving modern curricula at the university, so that students are prepared to the best possible way to the labor market. It happens that companies for specific faculties of technical universities commission the development of specific technologies, innovations, patents, etc., that is, those necessary knowledge-based types of production factors that they need in their business. However, this type of approach mainly concerns or strictly strictly technical fields of study. in artistic studies and some humanities, this approach could fail partially or completely, because it could limit innovation and creativity in shaping the assumptions, concepts and conduct of scientific research.
However, at the universities of mainly humanistic, artistic, etc., the key issue is the independence of creating scientific concepts, independence in the development of research, the formulating theories, their verification, formulas of research and the publication of their results, description and interpretation of the results of scientific research. Therefore, a significant part of learning should be completely independent of business, politics, and various pressure groups lobbying for certain corporations, some of which are internationally active corporations. Information globalization is conducive to media objectivization and pluralisation in many countries. As a result, the description of the results of scientific research can be disseminated and publicized quickly. These processes may contribute to the increase of the objectivity and independence of the world of science.
Should international research teams be created that are abstract, independent of political influences, independent of subjective political views and others? Can an international scientific team of scientists representing different cultures, different subjective views and views on various problems be an effective team capable of conducting interesting scientific research? Can an international scientific team of scientists representing different cultures develop fully objective research projects? In my opinion, yes, it is possible and should create international research teams composed of scientists representing different cultures, different perspectives on various problems, proposing different solutions and research concepts, because in this way the most effective research projects can be created. In this way, the most effective research projects addressing globally significant civilization problems may arise. It is important that they are international research teams, for which the prime issue is tolerance for other cultures, other value systems, the ability to negotiate and develop common solutions for which the objectivity of scientific research, description of the results of scientific research and interpretation of these results is a privy issue.
Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?
In view of the above, I am asking you the following question:
Should the world of science be fully independent of other organizations, autonomous with respect to various pressure groups and lobbies, apolitical and thus fully objective in the conducted research and opinions issued on the conducted research, developed fields of science and interpretation of research results?

Dear Colleagues! In your opinion, how possible (and justified) is the implementation of the concept of Life Long Learning in the academic field by preparing and defending a second (third, etc.) doctoral dissertation in a new direction for a scientist? Do you know and can you give examples of such a scientific career development?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi!
I do not associate the term Life-long-learning with any general right for an academic to do a series of doctoral dissertations in various directions. A doctoral students education and support is a big investment for the state/the taxpayers, the university and the individual. To reach a PhD level is for an individual to be recognised for the ability to really both learn and create new knowledge on ones own.
Then other students should get the possibility to PhD studies. There is possibility to change directions of interest in research anyway.
I don’t want to criticise people who have double PhDs, but to create new possibilities for academics to make a number of dissertations in different subjects is probably not an ideal use of resources.

From the history of science development, many examples of scientific discoveries can be given, which gave humanity significant for the development of civilization and prosperity, various inventions, the effects of scientific discoveries in the form of new materials, technologies, etc. that have found practical application in various areas of production of economic goods that have become in common use by people, they have increased prosperity and made life easier.
However, the answer to this question in the context of the future of the next several dozen or more years, ie in the perspective of the development of science in the 21st century, is already determined by new factors. To these factors should be added global problems and their negative effects such as progressive global warming, increase in greenhouse gas emissions, increased risk of various climatic cataclysms, increased environmental pollution, declining resources of raw materials, arable land and clean water, the need to develop renewable sources of energy, electromobility, recycling, etc., ie the need to develop business processes according to the model of sustainable pro-ecological development, according to the green economy concept.
Whether thanks to the development of science people become happy, it depends mainly on the results of scientific research, scientific discoveries, new concepts created, innovative solutions in specific fields of knowledge regarding their applications in various areas of human life, but also for life on Earth and the natural environment Earth.
Considering the impact of the development of civilization on the natural environment of the planet Earth, progressive global warming, increasing climatic disasters, also the issues of pro-ecological applications of scientific discoveries are important, because in the 21st century it will be possible to save the planet Earth through a climate catastrophe. If this plan can be achieved in the 21st century, then life on Earth will be saved, and thus people in later generations will be happier.

In my opinion, not only the impact factor is taken into account by scientists when choosing a scientific journal for the purpose of publishing their achievements in scientific activity, including the results of research. We can distinguish at least a few of these determinants of choice, but the impact factor is one of the most commonly considered determinants, one of the more important ones. In addition to the imfact factor, the reputation and recognisability of a scientific journal in researchers and researchers environments shape determinants such as the citation of globally known research results and scientists in publications published in a specific scientific journal, linking a specific scientific journal with periodically occurring scientific events, conferences and scientific symposia, recognition of a scientific journal specialized, domain-specific in a given field, scientific discipline and many other determinants, which may also be characteristic of a specific scientific environment, for a given field of knowledge, country, nature of conducted research in a given scientific discipline.

An atomic clock emits a nano-bullet that moves at a given speed through a vacuum pipe to another atomic clock at a given moment. The other atomic clock records the instant at which the bullet reaches and calculates the time of another atomic clock based on the known speed and distance. Sync the clock and repeat the back and forth comparisons. The data match shows that the clock time coincides.
With such a synchronous clock, can we measure the unidirectional speed of light unchanged?
Relevant answer
Answer
To the original question: the two-way speed of light can clearly be measured with no issues: a light beam goes from source A to mirror B at distance L and then back to source A. A clock at A measures the time elapsed and always finds 2L/c, with c independent of reference frame.
So far, this is experiment, well confirmed in many different ways.
One-way speed of light always has some kind of problem, since we need to say when two distant clocks mark the same time. It turns out that it is a consistent convention to assume that clocks can be synchronised in such a way as to make the one-way speed of light constant.
However, to make contact with those who mentioned the Sagnac effect, this consistency only holds in *inertial* reference frames, not in rotating ones. In rotating reference frames, or other non-inertial frames, you generally cannot consistently synchronise clocks in such a way as to have a constant one-way speed of light.

E-portfolios can facilitate teaching and learning processes. At the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences (Ghent University), we noticed that our students often have difficulties reflecting about their learning in a meaningful way. When faced with more complex tasks, such as a Master thesis or internship, students also lack the ability to use their developed competences in an integrated manner. An e-portfolio can help students gain insight in their learning process in a more holistic way.
Through an action research design, we used the platform ‘Pebblepad’ as the medium to re-design the ‘Educational Design’ course. The teacher provided support (scaffolds) and formative feedback to guide the group assignment. Students also started an individual reflection portfolio in which they could use their creativity to work out given reflection assignments. 
Now we are looking for similar (free) options. Feel free to share your experiences/research with e-portfolios.

PROOF OF AN EXTRA SPATIAL DIMENSION
I studied the SDSS BOSS dataset and created a galaxy density map of the current universe.
The details of how to create a galaxy density map of the current universe are not relevant to the discovery. I just created a trivial d(z) and mapped all the 1.3 million objects in the dataset.
Then I created a cross-section of the globe, integrate of one of the angles (e.g. Declination) and just plotted all the other points densities irrespective to their Right Ascension.
This creates profiles that are consistent with the Galaxies being seeded by 36 Density Oscillations. In my theory those are mapped to Neutronium Acoustic Oscillations, but that is irrelevant.
The discovery that I want to be independently verified is that:
  1. In the SDSS BOSS dataset, there is information on the cross-section of the Galaxy Density Map that indicates SPHERICAL SEEDING OF GALAXIES (SSG).
  2. SSG distribution coalesce into 36 clusters (exact number is irrelevant, as long as it is more than 1).
I simplified the request. Just confirm the existence of spherical galaxy density distribution and that the distribution clusters itself into 36 or thereabouts (number is not relevant, just need to be larger than one) profiles.
Basically the request requires you to reproduce the plot and to realize that the mapping d(z) to current hypersphere or epoch is such that in a normalized Radius, distance is equal to alpha.
Also, no matter what mapping one uses, the spherical and clustering natures will not change and will also not depend upon the topology. Say, let d(z) be L-CDM corresponding function. That only changes distance and thus keeps the spherical nature of the distribution. L-CMD d(z) (if they had one) will also not change the clustering pattern since it is only changing distance d. This means that qualitatively spherical nature and clustering are not model dependent.
DATA ANALYSIS
The data, python scripts, and a video to help setting up the Anaconda Environment is provided here:
The creation of the map entails:
  1. Reading FITS files using astropy module
  2. FIXBOSS method which bins angular space to 0.1 degree and normalized radius, x, y, z by rounding them to n=3 significative figures.
  3. Notice that I am not doing anything to the Number density NZ nor to the proximity of objects. Galaxy density is the sum of objects times their NZ within a volume of 0.001 Radius x 0.1 DEC degree x 0.1 RA decree. Notice that radius range is [0,1], DEC [0,360], RA [90,-90]
  4. Notice that I mapped Alpha to distance (radius associated with objects).

We are planning to conduct a training for elementary science teachers on making improvised instructional materials to improve the quality of science teaching. Most of the science teachers in our city are non-science majors which prompted us to organize a training-workshop. What are improvised science instructional materials you can suggest that we can do?
Here is an example of what we want to do. An improvised microscope
Relevant answer
Answer
Angelo, I salute your goal to assist your upcoming workshop participants in your country by engaging in STEM with improvised materials. As a former Peace Corps Volunteer teacher in Swaziland, Africa (1981-1984) I developed a preference (driven initially by need but later by preference) for using locally available (and economical) materials, also. One improvised material I have used in my STEM PD workshops that I lead is a used plastic bottle (with its screw top) such as a small Gatorade bottle that is not a smooth cylinder (important to clean and sanitize the bottle before use). I challenge my participants, working in teams of 4 to figure out a way to fill the provided bottle half way (by volume) with water using only the bottle. I also provide them a pitcher of water to use in this challange and a stirring rod (which could be made of any material available). Each team of participants is provided these materials along with piece of colored tape (could be simply masking tape) to place on the outside of the bottle (bottom of tape aligned with top of water) that indicates the level of the water they have decided is exactly at the halfway fill mark in the bottle. Participants struggle to decided where that level, is since almost all recognize due to the bottle shape it would not be at what they see is the halfway height point. Some guess where the halfway point may be using an "eyeball strategy", while others come come to see that the bottle has a plastic seam line along its vertical shape which can be used to find the halfway by volume level of the water by turning the bottle sideways and by trial and error filling the bottle with water from a pitcher until the water level aligns with the seam. Participants place their team's water bottle with top secured and tape on the outside of the bottle side by side for comparison. Invariably, the bottles have differing places they have placed their tape. We debrief on their methods of coming to a "solution"to the challenge, with the the goal of deciding which strategy may be most fruitful in solving the challenge most accurately. We discuss the notion of "elegance" in strategy selection which for science is oftentimes associated with the notion of choosing the simplistic strategy which is shown to arrive at correct solution to a problem. The participants then usually select the seam strategy as fulfilling that criterion in this case. I then wonder if there may be a way to check to see if the seam strategy really has lead them to the same answer since there always seems to be some slight variation in the bottle levels of water even when the seam strategy is used. I suggest if they considered using the concept of set theory to consider a solution to the challenge. That is, if by volume the level of the water they have suggested fills the bottle by half, the other half (currently holding air) must be an equal volume in the bottle, since one half by one half equals a whole in set theory. Therefore, they can check whatever water level they may have thought represents half of the bottle's volume, by simply turning the bottle over vertically (make sure the cap is on tightly so no water may come out) and seeing if the resulting water level is exactly at the same point on the tape they placed earlier on the outside of the bottle to show the level of the bottle filled halfway by volume by water. This type of strategy using an application of set theory most engages their attention and their appreciation as being most elegant in this case, due to its ease in use and accuracy. As a STEM activity, we then take time in identifying what learners could learn about the "S"--gravity's impact on water in a closed container on Earth and methodology analysis of solution, "T" the technology used to produce the water bottle, "E" the design process to solve the problem, and "M" the use of a concept from mathematics to solve the problem. And, what about the bottle stirrer they ask? Why were they provided that? My response--when solving authentic challenges no one engaged in STEM knows upfront what equipment may be of value to solve the problem. The stirrer is provided not to imply it is of essential value in this instance to solve the problem (which most assume it must be, since it was provided to them in this challenge as they learned by school science always is the case if equipment is provided in a so-called school STEM inquiry experience in such as in a laboratory exercise. Lesson to notice is that in real life problems in STEM do not come all set up with directions on what may be needed (equipment, for example) to solve them. In fact, available equipment (in this instance, the stirrer) may indeed actually distract them as it may have done for some in this activity (even though when it was provided it was NOT stated it must be used to solve the challenge).
If you (or others who read this response to your question) should use my STEM activity with improvised materials that I developed (could be others have also come up with the same or a similar idea for the same improvised materials although I have never seen such activities or was influenced by any to come up with this idea) , I hope you may find success with it as I have with it over the years. If you do use it, please share your experience using it with your participants as shaped by your needs as a STEM teacher educator and your participants needs and interests. I always grow as an educator when we share our teaching stories, successes and challenges (as I think of them, as opportunities to continue learning my craft!).
All the Best, Randy

So, I think you could give them freedom to express what they know to later pass and ask how they know so, and how they use concepts such "fact"; "experience"; "information"; "science"; "empirism", and how they are related to the disciplines tought. Those concepts are related to epistemological notions, and tha's the basis of the whole scientific work.

contemporary techniques or innovations in teaching agricultural science at secondary school level
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello John,
The teaching of Agriculture in secondary schools should utilize basic but result-oriented strategies. However, to heighten innovation in the instructional delivery, variety is key. Therefore, the agriculture tutor must diversify the instructional methods s/he uses in teaching.
Simulation is one of the innovative teaching strategies that can be used for teaching practical oriented topics such as the use and management of agricultural tools and technologies for crop farming, soil preparation and so forth. Models or mock-ups of moving and operating machinery are given to learners to operate, fix and even maintain as they would eventually do in the real world. Today, simulated videos and slides such as Ghetto Game, Gold Rush, that mimics aspects of life such as new planting or farming initiatives are used in giving out instruction. This can be adopted and utilized.
Field trips to agricultural centers, industries, farmlands etc., where students get firsthand experience and practice of the theoretical methods of agriculture can prove very helpful. However, it must be carefully planned with students knowing prior the practical activities they would be engaging in when they visit those places. Assignments, write-ups, and projects must be given to students to aid them to participate effectively in the field trips.
In addition, the discovery method of instructional delivery is also innovative. The instructor can expose learners to a situation existing in a farmland or agricultural site and asks them to discover the underlying principles that explain the situation and how the challenges identified there could be remedied. The students learn the effective agricultural methods, chemicals, technologies through discovery.
Moreover, project-based learning approaches whereby individuals and teams are assigned projects in agriculture can prove very helpful. The tutor must also focus on teaching the concepts in the agriculture topics rather than facts since agriculture as a subject is with us.
All the best. Thanks.

In my experience logic is not taught at the appropriate age, if at all.  At best it is mostly taught in an ad hoc manner.  Given that an elementary classical education (Trivium) is comprised of grammar, logic and rhetoric.  Grammar and rhetoric (writing, and to a lesser degree verbal presentation) are taught almost as soon as a child enters school and continue throughout school.  In my experience, logic, as a subject discipline, is not widely taught from an early age.  I feel this hinders mental development because students are taught reading, writing, and even argumentation without the benefit of logic which helps one sort through the noise like a mental antivirus.  I'd like to get other's thoughts on this.  -- Dr. Sikorski   
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Jerry,
If I understood it well, you are in favor of teaching deductive, inductive,and abdutive  logic to children once they enter primary school. You continue and say that grammar and rhetoric (writing, and to a lesser degree verbal presentation) are taught almost as soon as a child enters school and continue throughout school. I agree with you that  grammar, writting, and to a lesser extent verbal presentation can be taught once children enter elementary or primary school. As for rethoric, I have some doubts that that can be the case. Note that rhetoric often appeals to idiomatic language, that is, a language that uses, say, style's figures, such as metaphors, hyperboles, metonymy, and the like. As a developmental psychologist I never saw a 6-year-old child to spontaneously use, in his/her spoken or written language,  metaphors (e,g., my father is in the spring of his life)  or hyperboles (e.g., my father was smoking a thinker cigarette).
Before addressing the issue at hand, that logic is not taught to children from an early age and this should be the case, let me clarify the differences among deduction, induction, and abduction,
Deduction or deductive reasoning allows us to derive b from a only where b is a formal consequence of a. In other words, deduction derives the consequences of the assumed premises. Given the truth of the assumptions or premises, a valid deduction guarantees the truth of the conclusion. For example, if p (John is at school) then q (Mary is also at school); p is the case (John is at school). Hence, q follows necessarily (Mary is necessarily at school). As you certainly know this is the logical argument known as Modus Pollens. Deductive reasoning is also at stake in Modus Tollens: Not is the case (Mary is not at school).  Hence, not p  has to be is also the case (John is not at school either). Correct hypothetical-deductive reasoning is also necessary to solve Denial of Antecedent  problems:  Not p Is the case (John is not at school). Hence, nothing can be concluded about q (it is not possible to draw any conclusion about Mary being or not being at school).  Correct hypothetical-deductive reasoning is also necessary to solve Affirmation of Consequent problems: q is the case (Mary is at school). Hence, nothing can be concluded about p (it is not possible to draw any conclusion about John being or not being at school).
Induction or inductive reasoning allows us to infer b from a, where b does not follow necessarily from a. A might give us very good reasons to accept b, but it does not ensure b. For example, if all swans that we have observed so far are white, we may induce that the possibility that all swans are white is reasonable. We have good reasons to believe the conclusion from the premise, but the truth of the conclusion is not guaranteed. Indeed, it turns out that some swans are black. Induction lies at the heart of many experimental studies.
Abductive reasoning or abduction is a form of logical inference which starts with an observation, and then seeks to find the simplest and most likely explanation. In abductive reasoning, unlike in deductive reasoning, the premises do not guarantee the conclusion. More precisely, abduction or abductive reasoning allows us to infer as an explanation of b. As a result of this inference, abduction allows the precondition a to be abduced from the consequence b. Deductive reasoning and abductive reasoning thus differ in the direction in which a rule like "a entails b” is used for inference. As such, abduction is formally equivalent to the logical fallacy of Affirming the Consequent because of multiple possible explanations for b. What follows is an example of an incorrect solution for affirmation of consequent problems : “q is the case ( Mary is at school), then p is also the case (John is also the case, which is an incorrect conclusion). Consider now the following example of abductive reasoning In a billiard game, after glancing and seeing the eight (or black) ball moving towards us, we may abduce that the cue ball struck the eight ball. The strike of the cue ball would account for the movement of the eight ball. It serves as a hypothesis that explains our observation. Given the many possible explanations for the movement of the eight ball, our abduction does not leave us certain that the cue ball in fact struck the eight ball, but our abduction, still useful, can serve to orient us in our surroundings. Despite many possible explanations for any physical process that we observe, we tend to abduce a single explanation (or a few explanations) for this process in the expectation that we can better orient ourselves in our surroundings and disregard some possibilities.
There is accumulated  evidence that shows that 5 to 6-year-olds are already capable of solving Modus Ponens problems and that 8 to 9 year-olds are already capable of solving Modus Tollens problems. However, the literature on the four logical arguments also shows that such solutions are based on what is called a matching bias procedure, not on correct hypothetical-deductive reasoning. In other words, in if p then q statements, children tend to say, for example, that if John is at school, Mary is also at school; if Mary is not at school, John is not at school either; If Mary is at school, John is also at school; and if John is not at school, Mary is not at school either.There is also accumulated evidence that shows that even adults often fail while solving Denial of Antecedent problems as well as Affirmation of Consequent problems.
There is also evidence that shows that only formal thinkers in Piagetian terms are  capable of designing an experimental study or research.
All these considerations show that it does not make much sense to teach inductive, deductive, and abductive logic to children once they enter elementary school. Unless, that is, we take rote learning for true understanding.
I hope I has got your point and that this is of some help for you.
Best regards.

If the laws and principles of nature are few and ubiquitous can we distil "Design Science" to the level of application and efficiency to be a synthesizer of many creative disciplines in keeping with natural laws and principles?
Relevant answer
Answer
There is enough scientific evidence pointing to the path of unification on many levels of human consciousness. We have, at one time or another, thought of, imagined or wished for and perhaps never expected an 'epi' (beyond what is known) series of phenomena we have re-lied on to appear. This is what new paradigms do for us; they are game changers. We take the threads spun in different disciplines to weave the web of understanding as a membrane that filters the relevant and viable nu knowledge as the signs of our times. There is a unique vocabulary of thought-forms that expresses the aesthetic quality of every paradigm that creates for us the movement of our creative spirit as we seek the oneness that is in our becoming. Quanta, Qualia, and 'Spiritua' are no gauges for this dynamic. We should not be embarrassed or afraid to include this thought process in every aspect of our lives. This becomes our humanity.

Case Based Reasoning is a good tool to learn and adapt from the recent technology that exist today and in the past, include in the scope of Ecological Engineering. I have been learning this method in Ecological Engineering aspect. Still, I need more knowledge to apply this approach in my research. 
It would be really helpful if any researcher had done and share about kind of this method. 
Hopefully, I would really feel honor to learn from researcher and share it here.
Thank you very much.
Cheers.

Is there a new philosophy of teaching and learning that was introduce only in the past decade? Please also share your current teaching and learning philosophy. Thank you. 
Relevant answer
Answer
The more technological developments arise, the more people try to adapt widely-known philosophies to technological tools to see if they can improve effectiveness of these philosophies. So, I think the literature of the philosophies is a little slow in last decade. But maybe some sciences of the future like A.I., big data, IoT may cause experts to think about something new.

Bert van Oers and myself have edited a special issue for the journal Learning and Instruction on classroom dialogue and learning outcomes. One of the articles by Cathy O'Connor et al. studies differences between silent and vocal participation in the mathematics classroom.

Hi Yasin
I would start by asking yourself the question, "Why do I want to train myself to be a good computer scientist?" The answer to this question will give you a lot of help in deciding how to proceed. If the answer is that I am really interested in the area and want to further my own knowledge, then that is fine, and you will be able to proceed doing just that at your own pace.
However, if you are considering learning how to become a computer scientist with a view to working in the field at a later date, then you ne
