What is Scientific Thinking and Reasoning?
There are two kinds of thinking we call “scientific.” The first, and most obvious,
is thinking about the content of science. People are engaged in scientific thinking when
they are reasoning about such entities and processes as force, mass, energy, equilibrium,
magnetism, atoms, photosynthesis, radiation, geology, or astrophysics (and, of course,
cognitive psychology!). The second kind of scientific thinking includes the set of
reasoning processes that permeate the field of science: induction, deduction, experimental
design, causal reasoning, concept formation, hypothesis testing, and so on.►Definition of Scientific Thinking
Scientific thinking is the conscious synthesis of facts or data used to reach a
meaningful term that produces something that makes sense. It focuses on answers to
“why” and “how” questions. Productivity of something serves as a result of scientific
thinking. All scientists are proof the mind is composed of scientific thinking. Scientific
discoveries are the result of scientific thinking strategies. Production of information and
communication, technology and machines are all examples that serve as outputs to
scientific thinking. Galileo Galilei, Albert Einstein, Newton, C. V. Raman, and Aryabhata
all became well-known scientists through their scientific thinking and restless
experimenting approaches.
The definition of scientific thinking adopted in this chapter is knowledge-seeking.
This definition encompasses any instance of purposeful thinking that has the objective of
enhancing the seeker’s knowledge. One consequence that follows from this definition is
that scientific thinking is something people do, not something they have. The latter we
will refer to as scientific understanding. When conditions are favorable, the process of
scientific thinking may lead to scientific understanding as its product. Indeed, it is the
desire for scientific understanding -- for explanation -- that drives the process of scientific
thinking.Scientific thinking is a type of knowledge seeking involving intentional
information seeking, including asking questions, testing hypotheses, making
observations, recognizing patterns, and making inferences. Much research indicates that
children engage in this information-seeking process very early on through questioning
behaviors and exploration. In fact, children are quite capable and effective in gathering
needed information through their questions, and can reason about the effectiveness of
questions, use probabilistic information to guide their questioning, and evaluate who they
should question to get information, among other related skills. Although formal
educational contexts typically give students questions to explore or steps to follow to “do
science,” young children’s scientific thinking is driven by natural curiosity about the
world around them, and the desire to understand it and generate their own questions
about the world.
Scientific thinking refers to both thinking about the content of science and the set
of reasoning processes that permeate the field of science: induction, deduction,
experimental design, causal reasoning, concept formation, hypothesis testing, and so on.
Here we cover both the history of research on scientific thinking and the different
approaches that have been used, highlighting common themes that have emerged over the
past 50 years of research. Future research will focus on the collaborative aspects of
scientific thinking, on effective methods for teaching science, and on the neural
underpinnings of the scientific mind.
Scientific thinking is the higher-order thinking skills. It is the ability of individuals
to seek knowledge in inductive and deductive reasoning to think of an answer or identify
and to explore the scientific examination of the facts. It may be observed, experiments to
test hypotheses and to find out why a conclusion, without bias or emotionScientific thinking is often mistaken with scientific method, which is a completely
different concept. Scientific method doesn’t exist in the first place. Only scientific
thinking or evaluation is feasible. It pertains to intelligently identifying a problem and
making suitable decisions according to the same. It involves heavy critical thinking and
systematic evaluation where each step should get you closer to the solution. The key role
here is played by the mode of thinking and the knowledge domain of the individual
thinker.
The level of scientific thinking is aroused at different levels in children, adults and
elderly people. It is known to be maximum in children and teens. Every child’s existing
theory is unique and one of a kind. Their individual theories must be developed to an
understandable level such that the child is capable of thinking or reflecting upon the
problem and coming up with a viable solution. An individual’s interest helps them
elevate their quality of thinking and the quality improves when people start taking charge
of imposing intellectual standards upon themselves in order to improve themselves on
their individual level of scientific thinking. It takes a set of reasoning processes that
include concept formation, casual reasoning, experimentation, induction, deduction,
hypothesis testing and so on.
