Today's class begins with the presentation from Group 2. The presenters are Azwa, Azri, Sabrina, and Hanisah. They present a topic of underdetermination in science. They present thorough WhatsApp and prepare a discussion video on Youtube for s to watch. After watching the video, they provide a QnA session for us to ask anything regarding the topic. Besides, they also prepare several activities in which:
- We need to solve a puzzle and answer what animals do we see. The answer is a duck and rabbit with the head combine.
- We need to guess between lion or tiger, which one roar louder?
- A group quiz thorough Google Meet.
Summary of the topic:
What I can understand from this topic is, the information given does not determine what conclusions we can draw from a situation. Hence, it can underdetermine the conclusions that we can draw from it. In general, underdetermination is the idea that evidence we have may be insufficient to determine what beliefs we should hold in response to it. Plus, undetermination has three versions which are holistic, contrastive, and transient. Holistic arises whenever our inability to test the hypothesis in isolation leaves us undetermined in our response to a failed prediction or some other piece of disconfirming evidence. Contrastive underdetermination can be defined as a set of evidence that can be supported by more that one theory. Meanwhile, transient underdetermination means theories that are not comparable by means of observation or experience.
Here, I include their video presentation.
