Introduction to Theory… Principles… Laws EDN 203 Chapter One Introduction to Theory… Principles… Laws

Theory Theory Defined http://www.answers.com/topic/theory

Principles “Principle” Defined General Scientific Principles http://www.answers.com/principle General Scientific Principles http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Science/Science_General.html

Laws “Scientific Laws” Defined http://www.answers.com/law%20in%20science Physical Laws: Examples of typical interpretations of the concept http://www.answers.com/topic/organic-law?method=8

Theory Redux Basic Purposes Explanation Prediction

Theory & Research Empirical Evidence “Truth” is Absolute Supports Theory “Test of Confirmation”: Validity of Theory Confirmation vs Disconfirmation: Must be able to be demonstrated as inaccurate, incorrect, inappropriate, or incomplete TO BE ABLE TO BE DEMONSTRATED AS VALID “Truth” is Absolute Not subject to validity testing Types of Research (Methodology) No “right or wrong” research Appropriately answers a question Quantitative vs Qualitative vs Mixed Methods Designs

Theory & Research & Practice Evidence-based Actions Grounded in Theory Becomes the Basis for Educational Practice
