Discussion: Philosophy of Science I will post the reading material shortly All citation needs to come from the reading material. I also have to add an article from the school library for a citation How does the lens from which you view the world shape your approach to research inquiry? Why is it important as a scholar-practitioner engaged in research to acknowledge your worldview? The Learning Resources in this first week will help you answer these questions, and they will provide you with a foundation in the philosophy of science that will help you appreciate various research designs and methods. With this foundation, you will be encouraged to reflect on how your assumptions about the acquisition of truth and the nature of the world influence your approach to the research process. For this Discussion, you will identify an area of interest for a possible research topic. As you read about the different philosophical orientations in this week’s readings, consider if one of these orientations most closely aligns with your worldview and a particular approach to research. With these thoughts in mind: By Day 6 I will post this on Wed-Friday after the students post their discussion board Respond to two classmates who hold a different philosophical orientation than you and share an insight. Note: In this course, you will submit your initial Discussion post before you are able to view your colleagues’ posts.
