a. Which of these two methods at the web link is closest to the six?step process in our textbook, and why?

b. Why do you think Aft uses the phrase “scientific method” to describe his six?step process?

Aft's Six-Step Scientific Method 1. Define the Problem 3. 4. 5. 6. Generate Alternatives Evaluate alternatives/specify a solution Implement the solution Follow-up

Explanation / Answer

(a) The two methods: Define the problems and Evaluate alternatives is closet to six-step process in our text book as any solution to problem start with identification of problem and finding its best alternatives /solutions. Identification of problem can only direct what solution could be made or what alternative solution can be implemented.

(b) Aft uses the phrase “scientific method” because it is a systematic process that involves measurable observation to formulate test and observation with a justifiable solutions. Just like any scientific method Aft problem solving process have a well defined step to step solution.
