Some of the most prominent figures of logical positivism are Rudolf Carnap, Friedrich Waismann, Carl Gustav Hempel and Hans Hahn -- among others (Murzi 1). Many believe that logical positivism started out as an empiricist or verificationist movement in the tradition of Hume, Mach, and Russell's external world program (Friedman 18)
In logical positivism, math, logic and science are the fields in which we can derive logic. Some of the most prominent figures of logical positivism are Rudolf Carnap, Friedrich Waismann, Carl Gustav Hempel and Hans Hahn -- among others (Murzi 1)
Der Wiener Kreis (The Scientific World-Conception. The Vienna Circle) (Richardson & Uebel 13)
Philosophy asks questions that science cannot answer and then asks why it is that science cannot answer those questions. The logical positivists, however, would probably have denied that there were any questions like that to ask as they came up with the notion of "pseudo-questions" (Rosenberg 16)
These believe that other methods, such as constructivism, are more conducive to research in the 21st century. Constructivist researchers believe that people develop knowledge based on their own social experiences and biases, and that no prescribed brand of truth is sure (Clark)
Positivism and Constructivism POSITIVISM vs CONSTRUCTIVISM The Better Option in the Quest for Knowledge Positivism In 1822, French philosopher Auguste Comte introduced the concept that social interactions, like physical science, could be investigated to draw universal rules to guide them (Kim 2003)
Learning is cooperative and there is much to gain by sharing it with classmates. Special needs students had the right to merge with normal students in a regular classroom, according to advocates of inclusion (McCarthy 1994)
Other teachers who read his column also asked about funding for assistive products (Williams). Statistics revealed that 8 to 12% of students in American higher education suffered from some disabilities, which required special attention (Roach 2002)
Yet the use of assistive technology is only part of what special educators do (Occupational Outlook). Students with sensory, cognitive or physical disabilities can access various websites, which accede to their learning needs (Sacco 2002)
This gave all of them the signal that it would be all right to be helped themselves (McCarthy). A victim of stuttering was helped by a computer course to control his problem and turned the benefit back by running a column to help other disabled learners (Williams 2000)
participation in program A, B or C. is most effective out outcome X, Y, or Z) (Engel and Schutt, 2009)
Both inquiries have their value, but in the end, they are looking at different aspects of the same subject. The positivist looks inward for the practical, the known, or easily knowable -- the intpretivism the unknown, the why, the gray in events, the mystery of life (Floersch, 2008)
Contrary to this is the interpretivist viewpoint (ISS), that tries to find out why things are happening in a particular societal or cultural setting. The subjective approach allows communication with the cultural background of a society and an understanding of why things operate (Weber, 2004)
