Applications of Humane Science
- Innovative use of knowledge to solve a day to day problem: Learning should be a pleasure. It has to foster critical thinking skills. It should make us more objective. It has to vet the curiosity of the individual.
- Innovative discovery: Creativity is hidden in all of us. All of us can be creative. It is not necessary to discover big principles – small ideas, little discoveries, are as creative as the big inventions or discoveries. It is necessary that students bring out the creative self from within.
- Innovative application of scientific principles: Creativity lies not only in discovery of principles but also in applying them across other areas. For example the usage of probability in studying population is a creative application. It can be very rewarding to use the principles of mathematics to study the heart or use the principles of capillary effect to explain flow of blood through veins.
- Innovative dissemination of scientific knowledge: Many a times, the same topic can be taught in a very innovative way. The benzene ring was an exciting discovery for Kekule. Kekule could not sleep for many nights before and after this discovery. If this is so exciting, why is it that most individuals are not able to share this sense of excitement? Finding new ways of teaching or disseminating knowledge is one of the core objectives of Science education.
