Course Description
The Philosophy of Science course aims to provide students with the ability to understand the nature of science in relation to various other knowledge, various ways of acquiring scientific knowledge, abilities and skills by applying philosophical and critical logical reasoning; by not ignoring the limitations of science, scientific methods, moral and social limitations in an effort to obtain and utilize knowledge. Philosophy of Science examines the concept of philosophy of science, the fields of study of ontology, epistemology, and axiology, in the constellation of educational research and assessment, as well as the development of scientific knowledge. Discussions about the ontology of science are focused on elements of empirical reality (empiricism) such as facts, data and information without separating them from rational reality (rationalism), as well as their position in scientific activities. The axiology of science discusses the values related to scientific activities and their uses both internally, externally and socially. The epistemology of science is focused on the scientific method and its operationalization in research methodology.
