INTRODUCTION:
Beginners encounter difficulty in programming, especially when solving mathematical problems. The basic concepts in programming is the used of control structures.

USING BLOGGING AND SOCIAL NETWORK IN TEACHING: 10 ADVANTAGES

Submitted by admin on Fri, 01/21/2011 - 14:27

 

1. IT ENABLES THE STUDENTS to learn anytime and anywhere. It allows them to receive instruction or have access to lectures despite geographic and time disparities.
 
2. It provides learners the ability to ‘pause and rewind’ and the advantage of moving at their own pace. If they need to read or listen to a lecture a second time (as in the case of video-recorded lecture), or think about a question for awhile, they may do so without fearing that they will hold back the rest of the class.

Science & Ethics compared: Are There Proofs in Ethics too?

Submitted by admin on Thu, 12/30/2010 - 03:35

BECAUSE SCIENCE IS, or is supposedly, empirical or verifiable, it seems to provide our paradigm of objectivity. And in comparing ethics to science, “ethics seems to lack the features that make science so compelling” (James Rachels,The Elements of Moral Philosophy: 1999).

          In fact, many assert that there are no proofs in ethics. While we can prove that the world is round and that two plus two equals five, we cannot, they say, prove that abortion is right or wrong. So the “No-Proof Argument” as outlined by Rachels goes like this:

The frogs called humans

Submitted by admin on Sat, 05/08/2010 - 02:15


TOPICS DISCUSSED: Anatomy; Animal Communication; Animal Behavior

IN THE PHILIPPINES AT LEAST, seldom would you find a college graduate who in his school days did not experience to dissect a frog in biology laboratory. Being cheap and relatively easier to find, frogs are usually used to teach students about the anatomy and physiology of vertebrates, or animals that have a backbone. Vertebrates as we are, we humans have anatomical and physiological features that basically resemble that of the frog.

Is science the only valid road to knowledge?

Submitted by admin on Sun, 05/02/2010 - 13:54

Editor’s note: Scientism as an epistemological approach is debunked in this article. Materialists and naturalists are also welcome to comment on this.

‘MYSTICALLY’ SPEAKING, RICHARD DAWKINS, the famed author of popular science books such as the controversial The God Delusion (2006), has an unquestioning allegiance to his own ‘god’ – science. Like many other naturalists, Dawkins sees science as having the power to untangle most, if not all, the mysteries of the universe without the need of the supernatural and thus believes that ultimately science can triumphantly address almost every problem.

According to American chemist and Nobel laureate Robert Woodward, respected professors at prestigious secular universities are rising up and arguing this, together with the point that “empirical evidence, especially in molecular biology, now points compellingly to some sort of creative intelligence behind life ...
