Dimensi Filsafat Sains Karl Raimund Popper Dalam Pembelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam Berbasis Project Based Learning

Abstract

This article explores Karl Raimund Popper's philosophy of science and its application to Project-Based Learning  (PjBL) in Science education. Popper's emphasis on falsification as a criterion for scientific truth is examined for its potential to enrich Science learning through PjBL. The research aims to use Popper's principles to enhance students' grasp of scientific concepts, critical thinking, and creativity. It also addresses practical implications for designing and implementing project-based Science curricula. Utilizing a qualitative case study and library research methods, the study reveals that integrating Popper's philosophy fosters adaptability, open-mindedness, and strong scientific and ethical skills in students. It underscores the importance of accurate reporting, bias avoidance, and acknowledging research limitations, offering valuable insights for educators and curriculum developers  aiming to improve Science education through a philosophy-based PjBL approach.
