Evaluation Of Evidence

In the field of science, it is widely accepted that all hypotheses and theories can, and should, be tested. Here, we treat the authorship of the works attributed to William Shakespeare from Stratford-upon-Avon as a hypothesis (rather than received truth) and review the current methods available for testing this hypothesis. Justification for this investigation arises from the recent identification of several of Shakespeare’s coauthors. To illustrate potential approaches, we compare the widely accepted Stratfordian hypothesis with other competing hypotheses (authorship candidates), mainly referring to the case for Henry Neville (1562-1615). First, we identify important components of the scientific method as applied to the Shakespeare authorship issue: evaluation of evidence, formulation of a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, and rejecting or revising the hypothesis. Referring to historical examples, we show how the scientific method has produced precise, dependable advances, even though the way in which it proceeds is often messy. Crucial for science’s progress is confirmation of experimental results, and discussion (with peer review) by the community of scientists before any hypothesis gains general acceptance. Second, using the example of Neville as a candidate, we provide specific examples of application of these principles to factors such as a candidate’s social networks, access to privileged knowledge, and textual analysis; we comment on the strengths and weakness of each approach, and how they might be applied in future studies. Throughout, we stress how doubt is an essential ingredient of progress not only in science but also in knowledge generally, including the Shakespeare authorship debate.

PurposeSocial networks provide convenient communication and connection among people, and they have become essential in college students' lives. However, problems also come along with increasing concern about trust and privacy issues. This research attempts to investigate the trust and privacy perceptions of university students when using social networks for learning purposes.Design/methodology/approachThis paper investigated the differences in trust and privacy perceptions between undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) students through an online survey with 96 subjects in Hong Kong. The authors used the Mann–Whitney U test to compare the differences between the responses provided by UG and PG subjects.FindingsThe authors found that both PG and UG students were generally satisfied with the use of social networking sites (SNSs) for learning. However, PG subjects used SNSs more for learning and were more willing to exchange with classmates than UG and PG perceived higher value of SNSs than UG students. The authors also found a relative lack of privacy awareness of UG students.Practical implicationsBased on the study’s findings, the authors made some recommendations about the application of SNSs for learning purposes. The authors also suggest universities provide more guidance and training to students on the privacy issues of SNSs.Originality/valueEven though some previous studies have focused on studying privacy and trust issues on SNSs, studies that aim at university students in the context of Asia–Pacific are rather limited, especially university students' own trust and privacy perceptions on using SNSs for learning purposes.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-02-2020-0042

In Indonesia, it will be said that A.Mukti Ali is a pioneer in introducing religious studies. A.Mukti Ali realized thatreligious studies did not only need the scientific methods but they must also integrate with social approaches. He thoughtreligious studies should be conducted objectively without involving the apologists-polemical element as a basic concept. Infact, the use of the scientific method, social sciences, and objective attitude do not be certainly enough to understandreligious phenomenon, despite religious reflection must be involved and researchers must give their views too. All componentsmust be synthesized in order to produce a holistic and integral assessment of religious phenomenon. The integratedcomponents that needed in studying religious phenomenon is what be called by Mukti Ali as a scientific approach-cumdoctrinaire.This writing will discussed about A.Mukti Alis thoughts in the field of religious studies.

Semiotic Perspective

This essay transforms Pascal's Wager into Peirce's Wagers. Pascal did not consider the question from a Semiotic perspective. Belief in a meaningful universe may be a matter of more than a one time decision by an isolated individual. When we act in the world we make "wagers." We "bet" that life is meaningful and that in some sense "God" does exist. C. S. Peirce's approach to epistemology can be read to imply a "scientific" approach to everyday life questions. Essentially, Peirce takes the scientific method as a standard for all activities. We make decisions on the basis of what we think we know. We "experiment." An understanding of the function of religious institutions helps to consolidate this Peircean Pragmatist notion.

Students worksheet scientific approach is a teaching material that contains material that teaches students to experiment by following the steps based on the scientific method. The scientific method is observed, ask, gather information, associate, and communicate. The results of observation, interview with the teachers and students found that the teacher uses the revised version of the 2013 Curriculum’s handbook of natural science for grade VII. The books contain student activities cannot be done because of the limited media available in the school. So, the teacher must make student worksheets as complementary media for student activities. Constraints experienced by teachers in learning activities with the 2013 Curriculum include limited media such as electron microscope, mount, and surgical appliance for the subject of life organization system, etc. Teachers are predominantly applying scientific steps on students at the aspect of observing, questioning, and communicating, so that students’ knowledge and skill are less optimized. This study aims to determine the feasibility of student worksheets based on the VII class scientific approach. This type of research is Research and Development (R & D) with the Four D research model consisting. The sample used was Kalianget 2 Public Middle School. The result of the research showed that feasibility of Student Worksheets based on Scientific Approach obtained very feasible category, with the percentage feasibility material of 86.11% (very feasible category), feasibility format of the 85.42% (very feasible category), feasibility display of the 85.94% (category is very feasible).
