Currently I do not have an extensive relationship with science and the idea of scientific thinking. Last semester in Liberal Studies 100 we were introduced to the scientific paradigm. The knowledge I gained from that course on the scientific way of thinking is the extent of what I know on the topic. I attribute my lack of knowledge on the scientific way of thinking to the fact that I have never taken a science course at university. As a student studying Liberal Arts, my studies often lead me away from the scientific paradigm. Liberal Arts electives are mainly taught through an interpretive and/or critical view. My exposure to the scientific paradigm is also quite limited as I am only at the beginning of my academic journey. My image of a scientist is someone who conducts experiments and draws conclusions based on evidence. To me, a scientist is a person who strictly follows the scientific method, and makes conclusions based solely on concrete evidence. The emotional reaction I have to my image of a scientist is positive. When I think about scientists I immediately picture someone extremely educated and intelligent. The scientific way of thinking is one I have yet to master but will continuously aim to develop as I go to university.
