Scientific Temper and Education:A Framework for Discussion
Scientific temper is the use of scientific methods in areas other than natural science, like sociological and ethical issues. Acquiring scientific temper is a change in human behaviour and hence not a part of natural science. It gets strengthened not by studying basic natural sciences, but by applying scientific methods to human behaviour. The curriculum of all students (including scientists) needs to include social science and humanities for strengthening their scientific temper.
