In traditional labs, students often receive very detailed guidance, allowing them to complete the lab and get a reasonable result even if they have no understanding of what is being done or why.  Traditional labs often appear to the students to be set up for the purpose of &#8220;demonstrating the truth of the theory you were taught in lecture and read about in the text.&#8221;  This can have the unfortunate side effect of developing an epistemological misconception &#8212; the idea that science largely develops by testing someone&#8217;s arbitrary made up hypotheses.  The firm base for science that is developed through extensive observation and experiment can be missed.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/physics\">physics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/education\">education<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/academia\">academia<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/experiment\">experiment<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Physics Education Research Group (UMD) \/ Scientific Community Labs &#8220;Scientiifc community labs (SCL) are designed to give students the experience of participating in a model of a realistic scientific community at an early stage in their scientific training.
