Philosophical strategies for nature of science based on worldviews: The quantum interference of single electron
This study aims to present a strategy to transform the worldviews of students, especially college science classrooms, into desirable current worldviews (Darwin, Quantum mechanics, Einstein, refer to Fig 1). Above all, the worldviews, that is metaphysical belief, needs to be changed. This is because...

| description | This study aims to present a strategy to transform the worldviews of students, especially college science classrooms, into desirable current worldviews (Darwin, Quantum mechanics, Einstein, refer to Fig 1). Above all, the worldviews, that is metaphysical belief, needs to be changed. This is because metaphysical belief is the basis for the whole framework of conception. Since the previous study emphasized epistemological belief only, an emphasis was placed on metaphysical belief on which epistemological belief is based. Therefore, the two beliefs should be used to elucidate in the education of Nature of Science. Metaphysical belief in the science of cosmic order, symmetry, or disorder is often important in scientific research and can lead to an epistemological view that can select or reject a certain kind of explanation. Specially, the two-slit experiment with single electrons is a radical illustration of another paradigm shift, from classical (mechanistic materialism) to quantum physics (desirable dialectical materialism). The double slit electron experiment creates sensuous images that can be grasped at once. Because quantum mechanics is inherently abstract, it is difficult to accept its meaning. |
