Verification and Falsification in Science
Christian, Dan
Australian Science Teachers Journal, 19, 3, 33-40, Sep 73
Examines the nature and philosophical structures of science, with particular reference to inductive and deductive methods. Considers "simple falsificationism," which suggests that scientific progress consists of the rejection of unsatisfactory theories rather than the establishment of new theories. (JR)
