This study analyzed Karl Popper’s scientific method, and tried to understand its status on the education.At first, I could find that Popper’s epistemology based on the fallibility of human knowledge. He argue that the real knowledge cannot be established by one person, so must cooperate with each other.Popper said that the criteria that can demarcate between science and non─science is one theories’ fallibility testability and refutability.Popper’s scientific method is hypothetical, deductive method.Popper based on the critical rationalism, and took method logical monism, that the method of social science and natural science are same. So , as social reform, educational reform must go on with critical attitude in possible part.In the educational reform, the best way is careful and piecemeal reform. Education must give student the potentiality of solving problems, and give them autonatimity.And the environment that can be given by teacher have three. That is liberal, supportive and reactive environment.So school must be an open society.School must be based on the human fallibility and school should permit open criticism. |
