ASSESSMENT
The Facets of Science
Science means several things to various individuals and institutions. You can see the various facets of science
in the first column below. On the opposite column, write your insights and reflections about each of the facets
of science.
Facets of Science Insights and Reflections
Science is a broad body of knowledge that is built
1. Science as a broad body of knowledge
up through experimental testing and observation]. It
is also a way of knowing, with an understanding of
the nature of scientific knowledge being an
important underpinning for learning science.

Science skills include observing qualities,

measuring quantities, sorting/classifying, inferring,
2. Science as a set of skills predicting, experimenting, and communicating

Scientists use these skills to make new discoveries,

develop new technologies, and advance our
understanding of the world around us.

3. Science as an intellectual activity Science is an intellectual activity carried on by

4. Science as a social activity
5. Science as problem-solving
humans that is designed to discover information
about the natural world in which humans live and to
systematically and organized inquiry into the natural
world and its phenomena
Science is a social activity that involves meaningful
personal engagements which are open, friendly, and
mutually supportive. Traditional philosophy of
science is relentlessly individualistic, focusing on
individual agents and the conditions they should
satisfy if their beliefs are to be justified. Science is
often portrayed as an activity carried out by isolated
individuals, but in reality it must respond to societal
needs and global challenges. Jasanoff's research
has tried to answer how we can study science and
technology as social activities.
Problem solving is a key component of many
science, math, and engineering classe, and is
central to the processes of science, engineering,
and medicine. The scientific method can be used to
solve everyday problems by identifying and
analyzing the problem, forming a hypothesis,
 testing it, and confirming the results.
6. Science as a career There are many career opportunities in science,
including epidemiologist/medical scientist,
biochemist, psychologist, industrial psychologist,
forensic science technician, conservationist,
environmental scientist, environmental science and
protection technician. Science Careers provides
thousands of job openings and free career
development tools and resources. Science Buddies
also offers over 100 career profiles to help students
explore careers in science, technology, engineering,
and math.
7. Science as a global human endeavor Science is a human endeavor that involves
individuals and teams from many nations and
cultures. It is influenced by scientists' backgrounds,
theoretical commitments, and fields of endeavor, as
well as the public's perception of science as a cold,
heartless endeavor. Current efforts to humanize
science focus on highlighting the lives of scientists
and showing them as people who are enmeshed
within their culture.
8. Science as a process The scientific method is a process of objectively
establishing facts through testing and
experimentation. It involves making an observation,
forming a hypothesis, making a prediction,
conducting an experiment and finally analyzing the
results. The first step of the scientific method is to
define a question to investigate, which is followed
by making predictions and constructing a
hypothesis. Finally, the results are analyzed to draw
conclusions about the original question.

Why are the domains of learning important?

The different areas or categories of knowledge and skills that students are expected to learn are referred to
as learning domains. These domains are frequently classified as cognitive (knowledge and thinking skills),
affective (attitudes and values), and psychomotor (physical skills). Understanding the various domains of
learning is important because it allows educators and curriculum designers to create well-rounded and
comprehensive learning experiences that address the various ways that students learn. Furthermore, by
understanding the various domains of learning, educators can identify areas where a student may be
struggling and develop specific interventions to assist them in improving. Furthermore, the domain of
learning aids in identifying the specific skills that the student already possesses and what to learn.
