APPLICATION OF THE EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH IN LEARNING

Abstract

Achieving the objectives outlined in an experimental process requires the establishment of an induction phase, which consists of an open space offering the opportunity for learners to state their hypotheses while collectively choosing one and a few variables, a deductive procedure comes second. However, adopting such an approach faces difficulties for learners to formulate hypotheses consistent with theoretical data. Lack of critical thinking in learners as well as their inability to interpret experimental results is also a problem in this teaching practice. It is important to note that the experimental method should not be limited to manipulation and analysis of the results by the learners.
