Why is Johannes kepler considered one of the leaders of the scientific revolution? |
|
Answer» Johannes keplar was a leading astronomer of the Scientific Revolution. The Scientific Revolution used the term used to describe the emergence of modern science that took place throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. Before the Scientific Revolution, astronomy was closely tied to astrology which is the belief that the movement of the stars and planets can be interpreted to predict the future. As the Scientific Revolution progressed, astrology increasingly came to be replaced by astronomy as a modern, legitimate science. Johannes kepler is best known for his discovery that the orbits in which the Earth and the other planets of the solar system travel around the Sun are elliptical, or oval, in shape. He was also the first to explain correctly how human beings see, and demonstrated what happens to light when it enters a telescope. In addition, he designed an instrument that serves as the basis of the modern rerfactive telescope. Since he was such a prominent figure in the field of astronomy, a lot of spots on distant planets have been named after him such as ‘Kepler’s Crater on Mars’ and ‘The Kepler Crater,’ on the Moon. |

Arrange the following Paulo Freirian concepts in sequential order(1) Praxis(2) Dialogue(3) Conscientization(4) Oppression 1. (4)-(2)-(3)-(1) 2. (1)-(2)-(3)- (4) 3. (1)-(3)-(2)- (4)4. (3)-(2)-(1)- (4) |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : (1)-(2)-(3)- (4) Paulo Freire's pedagogical approach has been applied in many contexts, but it is more than simply a collection of methods or techniques. Here we outline briefly some of the key concepts in Freire's work. Praxis (Action/Reflection) It is not enough for people to come together in dialogue in order to gain knowledge of their social reality. They must act together upon their environment in order critically to reflect upon their reality and so transform it through further action and critical reflection. Generative Themes According to Paulo Freire, an epoch “is characterized by a complex of ideas, concepts, hopes, doubts, values and challenges in dialectical interaction with their opposites striving towards their fulfilment”. The concrete representation of these constitute the themes of the epoch. For example, we may say that in our society some of these themes would include the power of bureaucratic control or the social exclusion of the elderly and disabled. In social analysis these themes may be discovered in a concrete representation in which the opposite theme is also revealed (i.e., each theme interacts with its opposite). Easter Experience Paulo Freire says that “those who authentically commit themselves to the people must re-examine themselves constantly. This conversion is so radical as not to allow for ambivalent behaviour… Conversion to the people requires a profound rebirth. Those who undergo it must take on a new form of existence; they can no longer remain as they were.” Dialogue To enter into dialogue presupposes equality amongst participants. Each must trust the others; there must be mutual respect and love (care and commitment). Each one must question what he or she knows and realize that through dialogue existing thoughts will change and new knowledge will be created. Conscientization The process of developing a critical awareness of one’s social reality through reflection and action. Action is fundamental because it is the process of changing the reality. Paulo Freire says that we all acquire social myths which have a dominant tendency, and so learning is a critical process which depends upon uncovering real problems and actual needs. Codification This is a way of gathering information in order to build up a picture (codify) around real situations and real people. Decodification is a process whereby the people in a group begin to identify with aspects of the situation until they feel themselves to be in the situation and so able to reflect critically upon its various aspects, thus gathering understanding. It is like a photographer bringing a picture into focus. Hence, the correct answer is (1)-(2)-(3)- (4) |
