For true, objective science the observer has to change
Question from the Internet:
“How does objectivity influence education research?”
Well, this is our great problem right now! Our inherent subjectivity influences, distorts, corrupts education and research. This is why both education and sciences are in crisis - together with everything else we are doing.
We always “knew”, suspected that the reality we see, observe is egocentric, subjective, and now with quantum physics we already have the proof how the observer inevitably changes both the observed reality and oneself.
This means that we stand on quicksand without any solid foundations. The most respected sciences have become theoretical, philosophical since we have no way of proving our theories. Stephen Hawking was probably the greatest symbol of this, a brilliant mind locked into a useless body exploring distant black holes from his wheelchair.
In scientific gatherings, peer review journals we can all “prove” our own point of view with clever data manipulations, statistics, while others can similarly “prove” the exact opposite.
In order to put ourselves back on track with clear, purposeful development, first we need to adjust ourselves. We need to develop, acquire a truly objective, selfless viewpoint that is unaffected, undistorted by any egocentric, subjective, self-serving and self-justifying calculations.
For this we need a unique, highly practical, scientific method - which we have.
