Advantages And Disadvantages Of Inductive Theory
Inductive Theory: Inductive approach is concerned with the generation of new theory emerging from
data. Inductive approach will usually use research question to narrow the scope of study. Induction is
known as a conclusion reached through reasoning. An inductive statement is derived using facts and
instances which lead to the formation of a general opinion. Though all the facts upon which the
conclusion is based are true, there is still a chance of the conclusion reached being false. This type of
reasoning goes from specific facts to a general statement. An inductive statement is of two types; a
strong inductive statement or a weak inductive statement. It depends on its authenticity. A strong
statement has the possibility...show more content...
In other words, truth or falsehood of a deductive argument is dependent upon its premises.
Advantages of Deductive Theory:
The advantages of deductive theory are as follows:
It is a downward process of thought and leads to useful results.
It is straight and to the point.
It is less time consuming.
It allows more time for practice and application.
Disadvantages of Deductive Theory:
The disadvantages of deductive theory are:
It does not give any new knowledge because its premises are already tested. It draws theory from
general information and then extracts a specific conclusion which proves the past or present truth.
It is reduced merely to a method for verification.
It encourages dependence on other resources.
Advantages of Inductive Theory:
Inductive theory provides the following advantages:
It provides first–hand knowledge and information by actual observation.
Induction theory is future oriented. It gathers specific information, then draws a general conclusion
which predicts what you will find in the future.
It can increase the creativity of the researcher.

Examples Of Unsound Valid Deductive Argument
Deductive and Inductive Arguments Unsound Valid Deductive Argument Premise 1: My husband
does not work on the weekends. Premise 2: My husband was home today. Conclusion: It must be a
weekend. This argument precludes the fact that he may be home sick, or using paid time off.
Therefore, this is not a sound argument, though the premises are true, as it does not account for
other factors that may keep my husband home. Sound Valid Deductive Argument Premise 1: My
baby cries when he needs something. Premise 2: My baby is crying. Conclusion: He needs
something. This argument is sound and valid, as my baby only cries when there is something that
must be done for him, whether that be feeding, changing, playing, etc. Weak Inductive Argument

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Deductive Method
Strengths and weaknesses of Deductive and Inductive grammar teaching Erlam (2003) defines the
deductive method as a process that moves from general to specific. The learners are exposed to the
general use, and they apply the rule to particular examples of language use. And this method ismost
close with the Grammar–Translation approach (Gollin, 1998). This approach, according to Brinton,
Celce– Murcia and Snow (2014) was used as a way to teach Latin and other languages. This
Approach has some elements, which are as follows: – The focus is on grammatical parsing. – Using
the native language of the students. – Little use of the target language for communication. – Atypical
exercise is to translate sentences from the target language into the mother tongue. The Deductive
method is related to conscious learning. This method tries to place a great emphasis on error
correction and presentation of explicit rules. The deductive method is often used with adult learners.
The teacher in this method teaches the rule explicitly to learners, and they are ready to cope with
exercises given (Krashen, 2002). The deductive method has its own strengths and weaknesses,
according to Widodo (2006), which are in the following table: Strengths 1–The Deductive approach
goes straight forwardly to the point and time–saving. The positive aspect of the method is that it
saves time. Teacher's explanations, independent work and subsequent checks are effective methods
for learning facts and developing basic skills (Allahyar and Ramezanpour, 2011, p. 240–243;
Entwistle, 1998, p.225–258). 2– A number of rule aspects (for example, form) can be more simply
and clearly explained than elicited from examples. 3– A number of direct practice/application
examples are immediately given. 4– The deductive approach respects the intelligence and maturity of
many adult learners in particular and acknowledges the role of cognitive processes in language
acquisition. 5–It confirms many learners' expectations about classroom learning, particularly for
those who have an analytical style. Weaknesses 1– Beginning the lesson with a grammar
presentation may be off putting for some Learners, especially younger ones. 2– Younger learners
may not be able to

"My mind," he said, "rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most
abstruse cryptogram or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can
dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental
exaltation" (Sign of Four 6). Sherlock Holmes can not only solve the mysteries that are presented to
him, but he can solve them with ease because of his reasoning skills. In particular, he mostly uses
abductive reasoning, but sometimes he uses deductive and inductive reasoning. This also overlaps
into mathematics, with proofs and inferences.
First, deductive reasoning is "a truth–guaranteeing type of reasoning, meaning that if the premises of
a deductive argument are correct, then the conclusion must inescapably...show more content...
Sherlock Holmes uses many of the rules of inferences to come up with his conclusion. For my
second example of abductive reasoning you could see it written out as; 1. Mr. Wilson wears an
arc–and–compass breastpin. 2. If Mr. Wilson is a Freemason, then he would wear an
arc–and–compass breastpin. 3. Therefore, Mr. Wilson is a Freemason. Simplified it would look
like; 1. P. 2. If Q then P. 3. Therefore Q. This is the definition of modus ponens inference in math
terms. Inferences can be turned into proofs by simply stating them in full sentences.
Not only does Sherlock use proofs, he uses indirect proofs. As Sherlock says, "It is an old maxim
of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable,
must be the truth" which we call an indirect proof (The Speckled Band 164). The Silver Blaze has
an excellent example, Sherlock deducts "that he must have gone to King's Pyland or to Mapleton.
He is not at King's Pyland, therefore he is at Mapleton" (Silver Blaze 291). In the long run, the
proofs and inferences just back up my conclusion that Sherlock's reasoning skills are

Deductive Approach In Research Approach
Research Approach
Every researcher adopts a specific approach for his research study, which is very important step in
every research. There are mainly two research approaches, inductive and deductive by looking to
the research onion of Saunders et al (2009, p. 108). In inductive approach, researchers use their
findings for the generation of theory. Theory is a term which can be use in different ways and in
qualitative research researcher use this term about the explanation of observations. Inductive
approach allows the researcher in previous literature and finds the new research question, where he
comes up with the new theory after the analyzing. While deductive studies, use theory deductively
and places it in the very beginning of the study. With the objective of testing or verifying a theory
rather than developing it, state hypothesis and collects data to test it. Reflect on the confirmation or
disconfirmation of the theory by the results (Creswell, 2009, p. 10– 14) and our choice for research

We will come up with findings, acceptance or rejection of hypothesis and in the end; we go back

Deductive Critical Thinking
INTRODUCTION
In our day to day studies, almost everything is transformed into our understanding by the creation of
arguments in our brains. An argument is basically described as a process of making what we think
clear to ourselves and others .the final goal of an argument is usually to reach a conclusion which is
sufficiently persuasive to convince someone of something. Any argument that relies on collection of
data, on measurement, on information collected somehow (rather than on a general principle) is
known as an inductive argument. On the other hand an argument which begins with a generally true
phrase to a particular phrase is known as a deductive argument.

Usually in a deductive argument, the premises are meant to provide a guarantee...show more

Inductive arguments, therefore, can take vary wide ranging forms, including arguments dealing with
statistical data, generalizations from past experience appeals to signs, evidence or authority and
casual relationship. The following is an example of an inductive argument:
It has snowed in Massachusetts every December in recorded history. Therefore, it will snow in
Massachusetts this coming December.
How do inductive and deductive arguments help us in critical thinking? This is a question that needs
much insight so as to fully understand the role of inductive and deductive arguments in critical
thinking.
Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally. It includes the ability to engage in
reflective & independent thinking. So deductive and inductive arguments will help in the following
ways in critical thinking:
1.Making accurate and logic decisions.
In arguments, facts are reviewed, wrote and reviewed again. By this, it usually helps one to make
decisions accurately .arguments really helps someone to understand every single piece of
information because when you fail to understand a part of given information then it is likely to make

Inductive Approach
Deductive: Deductive reasoning is a logical process in which a conclusion is based on the
concordance of multiple premises that are generally assumed to be true. Deductive reasoning is
sometimes referred to as top–down logic. Its counterpart, inductive reasoning, is sometimes referred
to as bottom–up logic. Difference: The main difference between inductive and deductive approaches
to research is that whilst a deductive approach is aimed and testing theory, an inductive approach is
concerned with the generation of new theory emerging from the data. Inductive or Deductive? Two

Specifically, no hypotheses can be found at the initial stages of the research and the researcher is
not sure about the type and nature of the research findings until the study is completed. In inductive
approach there is no theory at the beginning point of the research, and theories may evolve as a
result of the research: It is noted that "inductive reasoning is often referred to as a "bottom–up"
approach to knowing, in which the researcher uses observations to build an abstraction or to
describe a picture of the phenomenon that is being studied" (Lodico et al, 2010, p.10). In other
words, in inductive studies no known theories or patterns need to be tested during the research
process. Inductive reasoning is based on learning from experience. Patterns, resemblances and
regularities in experience (premises) are observed in order to reach conclusions (or to generate
theory). Here is an example: My nephew borrowed $100 last June but he did not pay back until
September as he had promised (PREMISE). Then he assured me that he will pay back until
Christmas but he didn't (PREMISE). He also failed in to keep his promise to pay back in March
(PREMISE). I reckon I have to face the facts. My nephew is never going to pay me back

Deductive and Inductive Approaches
CHAPTER ONE
DEDUCTIVE AND INDUCTIVE APPROACHES–
A SHORT REVIEW
1.1. Definitions and names
When it comes to teaching grammar two main trends have been competing with one another for
ages, these are: deductive and inductive approaches. While the first one seems to be more successful
as it has continuously been applied since ancient times, the other was appreciated only in Classical,
Reneissance, 19th and 20th century (Johnson, 1999, p. 147). However, it seems to have gained real
popularity recently. We can observe (Johnson, 1999, p. 147), that the deductive approach was
extremaly in favour in the Middle Ages, 18th and 19th century, when reading, writing and translating
texts were regarded as the most important skills. Luckily,...show more content...
228). According to Trahey and White in these exercises " ...learners are exposed to a high–frequency
of a particular language form in the instructional input leading to better knowledge and
understanding of that form by the learners" (Lightbown & Spada., 1999, p. 131). Pupils seem
to be surrounded by the language, on the contrary in the deductive approach learners are given
selected language structures to cope with, to complete tasks based only on this particular gramatical
item. Batstone (1994) calls this type of approach "teaching grammar as product" or "form–focused
approach" and sees it as a series of controlled activities with the significant role of the teacher and a
slightly limited role of the learners (pp. 224–227). However, he does not condemn this approach, he
admits it is still a very popular one and has some advantages. As a matter of fact, Batstone agrees
with Long's opinion that "structures, notions, functions, etc." cannot "be acquired separately, singly,
in linear additive fashion" and this is the weak point of the form–focused approach, yet it provides
good knowledge of rules and reinforces students feeling of understanding the language structure and
at the same time it encourages them to continue learning. In regards to the inductive approach
Batstone calls it teaching grammar as process or meaning focused approach (pp. 224–227) and

Deductive Reasoning Case
Using deductive reasoning to go over this case I found it difficult to come to just one logical
conclusion with so many general statements by these suspects. I first took notes about the case;
including and highlighting the differences in each suspect's story which I then used to formulate my
theory. After carefully reviewing this case I feel that Melissa Baker is suspect number one in this
case. Not only did Melissa act too calmly when she was giving her statements, a calmness that seems
questionable for a widow whom has just found her husband murdered in their home. Melissa also
makes general statements that seem like she has an issue with how much attention her husband John
is giving to the football games during the season which can only be taken as jealousy. Melissa also
stated that she saw "Joe" in the home before she left for the shopping trip, this statement is
inconsistent with the other two suspects involved and their statements. Melissa stands to inherit the
business that her husband John has left behind. Another strange fact in this case is that the shopping
bags that Melissa brought home from the store are still unpacked however Melissa stated that she
did not think anything of the quiet in...show more content...
When informed he seemed overcome with real surprise, however without prompt he openly
admitted that he was supposed to be at John's. Without any hesitation he becomes is very
informative and overly cooperative. He states that when he arrived at the home no one answered
the door, but Melissa has already placed him at the scene before she left to go shopping in her
statement. He also stated that John can be a cranky person. Joe also states that he looked into the
windows to see if anyone was home, why would he look into the windows? Joe's story seems to be
the most inconsistent at first

Deductive and Inductive Reasoning
Deductive and inductive reasoning A deductive argument tends to work from the generalized to the
more specific. It often referred to as a top–down approach informally. The conclusions that are made
in deductive argument follow logically from the facts that are available. A deductive approach can
be taken on the statement traditional publishing has been rendered unnecessary by the rise of digital
publication. Electrical publishing which is also referred to as ePublishing or digital publishing
involves the publication of e–books, electronic articles, digital libraries and EPUBS. It is becoming
a common trend to distribute books, newspapers and even magazines directly to readers through
tablet reading devices. This has been generated by vendors who operate online like Apple iTunes
bookstore and books in the android market among others. Market researchers have made suggestions
that most of the magazines and newspapers that will be in circulation will be done through digital
means by 2015(Sader, 2004). Most of the publishing companies are also considering making
agreements with these electronic publishing networks like Apple so that they can increase the
publications through them and eventually no more traditional publishing will be done (Rothchild, I.
2006). From the look at the general trend in publishing that most people and firms are taking as
depicted above, it is safe to take the deductive conclusion that "Traditional publishing has been

Research Approach And Inductive Approach
When choosing the research approach, when the selection between deductive approach and inductive
approach both are suitable for the research. Deductive approach is when theory and hypothesis are
built up after reading literature and the testing theory and hypothesis is tested. Inductive approach is
focused on the testing theory. When this theory developed from the analysis of collected data which
depend on building theory (Saunders etal., 2003). So, the chosen method is the deductive approach.

Deductive Approach Paper
The inductive approach to research refers to a strategy where the researcher starts the study
gathering all the data relevant to the topic being studied. When they have collected all the necessary
information, the researcher conducts an in–depth review of the data with the aim of developing a
deep understanding of the concept being studied. The researcher explores the data making
observations on crucial points and establishing all the significant patterns crucial to determining the
outcomes. Then, the researcher develops a theory that helps him to explain the reasons for the
development of the observed patterns. Therefore, the technique involves the shift from the specifics
to a general observation that can be applied in the overall case. After the analysis of the data, the
researcher explores the existing theories on the topic and positions the newly developed theory
within the existing body of knowledge (Creswell, 2003).

Deduction Vs Deductive Reasoning
Induction and deduction are pervasive elements in critical thinking. They are also somewhat
misunderstood terms. Arguments based on experience or observation are best expressed inductively,
while arguments based on laws or rules are best expressed deductively. Most arguments are mainly
inductive. In fact, inductive reasoning usually comes much more naturally to us than deductive
reasoning. Deductive reasoning that is based on a general statement of fact is hard to argue with.
When using this method, you begin with a factual statement that describes a class of things, such as
animals. "In deductive inference, we hold a theory and based on it we make a prediction of its
consequences. That is, we predict what the observations should be if the...show more content...

Deductive and Inductive Grammar Teaching
DEDUCTIVE AND INDUCTIVE GRAMMAR TEACHING By Arnis Silvia
(arnis.silvia@gmail.com) I. Introduction: What is Grammar Teaching and Why? In traditional
setting, grammar teaching is seen as the presentation and practice of discrete grammatical structures.
More comprehensively, Ellis1 (2006) defines grammar teaching as: Grammar teaching involves any
instructional technique that draws learners ' attention to some specific grammatical form in such a
way that it helps them either to understand it metalinguistically and/or process it in comprehension
and/or production so that they can internalize it. Further, Ellis (2006) points out some key concepts
in teaching grammar. First, some grammar lessons might consist of presentation by...show more

Within this period, grammar was abandoned. However, the language users now agree that grammar
is too good to be abandoned, as without good command of grammar, language development will be
constrained. Besides, 3 Richards, J.C, & Renandya, W.A (eds). Methodology in Language Teaching:
An Anthology of Current Practice). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. 2002. p.145 language
within a good grammar is a requirement for someone to be accepted in certain social contexts, says
academics, law, medics, and such where the use of language Since then, the issue does not ask
whether to teach grammar or not, but it shifts to: how should we teach grammar? should we teach it
deductively or inductively? which grammar should be taught? It implies that "the controversy has
always been whether grammar should be taught explicitly through a formal presentation of
grammatical rules or implicitly through natural exposure to meaningful language use." (Nassaji &
Fortos4, 2011) Further, the most current issue in grammar teaching mentions that the main issues of
grammar and grammar teaching covers three major problems, which are: " ... beginning with those
that conceptualized teaching in terms of methods with an exclusive focus on grammar, continuing
later as types of exposure to meaningful communication, and emerging more recently as a set of

Compare And Contrastive And Deductive Reasoning
The inductive and deductive reasoning seems dissimilar to each other from all accounts. Inductive
reasoning involves a scientist using series of correlated observations to reach or infer a conclusion
while deductive reasoning involves predicting a specific result by following existing laws and
general concepts that support a conclusion (OpenStax College, & Rice University, 2013). So,
considering the definition of inductive reasoning and the definition of deductive reasoning and their
mode of operations highlighted above, they are apparently different from each other. In comparing
and contrasting both approaches, inductive reasoning focuses on observation while deductive
reasoning considers the generally accepted facts to ascertain the authenticity of a specific case. With
the obvious difference in their modus operandi, inductive and deductive reasoning both use

The two methods can, as a matter of fact, be complementary when used in experiments. In other
words, the top–down logic of the deductive reasoning can be supported by the bottom–up logic of the
inductive reasoning. In addition, it may be necessary to evaluate which approach is best for getting
the required findings. The observational approach used by inductive reasoning can be solidified by
the evidence gathered from the test results of a supported hypothesis. This, in my opinion, is what
an intelligent scientist should do when working on a specific experiment. In an attempt to find a
solution or answer tough questions regarding scientific or biological matters, it would be unwise or
unnecessary to apply rigidity in using any of the discussed methods as both are complementary to

What Makes A Deductive Argument
With your first argument I think you should add more to your premises or add another premise to
support your conclusion. This example gives a very broad overview on alcohol related accidents.
How much was the person that got into the accident drinking. You could add a premise that states
this many percent of people drive while being legally intoxicated. I would also add for premise one
the percent of people that die in alcohol–related accidents every year or for a certain number of
years. This will make your argument stronger.
With your second argument is more of a deductive argument as premise one and two are true and the
conclusion is guaranteed. So this would be a valid deductive argument. For an inductive argument

Deductive Reasoning
Since all three had an adverse reaction to me, I used deductive reasoning. Being so easily
rejected, they appeared to be physically put off by my asking them for coffee. This reasoning led
me to one simple conclusion, which was to ask myself if I had a right to ask any woman out, if I
could cause such an adverse reaction. Awoman once told me I looked too serious when interacting
with her. I still do not know what she meant by that. It appeared I had been Sheldon Cooper long
before Jim Parsons played the character.
I am sure some of this apprehension on my part is due to issues that I am struggling to overcome. I

Deductive Essay

  • 1. Advantages And Disadvantages Of Inductive Theory Inductive Theory: Inductive approach is concerned with the generation of new theory emerging from data. Inductive approach will usually use research question to narrow the scope of study. Induction is known as a conclusion reached through reasoning. An inductive statement is derived using facts and instances which lead to the formation of a general opinion. Though all the facts upon which the conclusion is based are true, there is still a chance of the conclusion reached being false. This type of reasoning goes from specific facts to a general statement. An inductive statement is of two types; a strong inductive statement or a weak inductive statement. It depends on its authenticity. A strong statement has the possibility...show more content... In other words, truth or falsehood of a deductive argument is dependent upon its premises. Advantages of Deductive Theory: The advantages of deductive theory are as follows: It is a downward process of thought and leads to useful results. It is straight and to the point. It is less time consuming. It allows more time for practice and application. Disadvantages of Deductive Theory: The disadvantages of deductive theory are: It does not give any new knowledge because its premises are already tested. It draws theory from general information and then extracts a specific conclusion which proves the past or present truth. It is reduced merely to a method for verification. It encourages dependence on other resources. Advantages of Inductive Theory: Inductive theory provides the following advantages: It provides first–hand knowledge and information by actual observation. Induction theory is future oriented. It gathers specific information, then draws a general conclusion which predicts what you will find in the future. It can increase the creativity of the researcher.

  • 2. Examples Of Unsound Valid Deductive Argument Deductive and Inductive Arguments Unsound Valid Deductive Argument Premise 1: My husband does not work on the weekends. Premise 2: My husband was home today. Conclusion: It must be a weekend. This argument precludes the fact that he may be home sick, or using paid time off. Therefore, this is not a sound argument, though the premises are true, as it does not account for other factors that may keep my husband home. Sound Valid Deductive Argument Premise 1: My baby cries when he needs something. Premise 2: My baby is crying. Conclusion: He needs something. This argument is sound and valid, as my baby only cries when there is something that must be done for him, whether that be feeding, changing, playing, etc. Weak Inductive Argument Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Advantages And Disadvantages Of Deductive Method Strengths and weaknesses of Deductive and Inductive grammar teaching Erlam (2003) defines the deductive method as a process that moves from general to specific. The learners are exposed to the general use, and they apply the rule to particular examples of language use. And this method ismost close with the Grammar–Translation approach (Gollin, 1998). This approach, according to Brinton, Celce– Murcia and Snow (2014) was used as a way to teach Latin and other languages. This Approach has some elements, which are as follows: – The focus is on grammatical parsing. – Using the native language of the students. – Little use of the target language for communication. – Atypical exercise is to translate sentences from the target language into the mother tongue. The Deductive method is related to conscious learning. This method tries to place a great emphasis on error correction and presentation of explicit rules. The deductive method is often used with adult learners. The teacher in this method teaches the rule explicitly to learners, and they are ready to cope with exercises given (Krashen, 2002). The deductive method has its own strengths and weaknesses, according to Widodo (2006), which are in the following table: Strengths 1–The Deductive approach goes straight forwardly to the point and time–saving. The positive aspect of the method is that it saves time. Teacher's explanations, independent work and subsequent checks are effective methods for learning facts and developing basic skills (Allahyar and Ramezanpour, 2011, p. 240–243; Entwistle, 1998, p.225–258). 2– A number of rule aspects (for example, form) can be more simply and clearly explained than elicited from examples. 3– A number of direct practice/application examples are immediately given. 4– The deductive approach respects the intelligence and maturity of many adult learners in particular and acknowledges the role of cognitive processes in language acquisition. 5–It confirms many learners' expectations about classroom learning, particularly for those who have an analytical style. Weaknesses 1– Beginning the lesson with a grammar presentation may be off putting for some Learners, especially younger ones. 2– Younger learners may not be able to Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. "My mind," he said, "rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation" (Sign of Four 6). Sherlock Holmes can not only solve the mysteries that are presented to him, but he can solve them with ease because of his reasoning skills. In particular, he mostly uses abductive reasoning, but sometimes he uses deductive and inductive reasoning. This also overlaps into mathematics, with proofs and inferences. First, deductive reasoning is "a truth–guaranteeing type of reasoning, meaning that if the premises of a deductive argument are correct, then the conclusion must inescapably...show more content... Sherlock Holmes uses many of the rules of inferences to come up with his conclusion. For my second example of abductive reasoning you could see it written out as; 1. Mr. Wilson wears an arc–and–compass breastpin. 2. If Mr. Wilson is a Freemason, then he would wear an arc–and–compass breastpin. 3. Therefore, Mr. Wilson is a Freemason. Simplified it would look like; 1. P. 2. If Q then P. 3. Therefore Q. This is the definition of modus ponens inference in math terms. Inferences can be turned into proofs by simply stating them in full sentences. Not only does Sherlock use proofs, he uses indirect proofs. As Sherlock says, "It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth" which we call an indirect proof (The Speckled Band 164). The Silver Blaze has an excellent example, Sherlock deducts "that he must have gone to King's Pyland or to Mapleton. He is not at King's Pyland, therefore he is at Mapleton" (Silver Blaze 291). In the long run, the proofs and inferences just back up my conclusion that Sherlock's reasoning skills are Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Deductive Approach In Research Approach Research Approach Every researcher adopts a specific approach for his research study, which is very important step in every research. There are mainly two research approaches, inductive and deductive by looking to the research onion of Saunders et al (2009, p. 108). In inductive approach, researchers use their findings for the generation of theory. Theory is a term which can be use in different ways and in qualitative research researcher use this term about the explanation of observations. Inductive approach allows the researcher in previous literature and finds the new research question, where he comes up with the new theory after the analyzing. While deductive studies, use theory deductively and places it in the very beginning of the study. With the objective of testing or verifying a theory rather than developing it, state hypothesis and collects data to test it. Reflect on the confirmation or disconfirmation of the theory by the results (Creswell, 2009, p. 10– 14) and our choice for research approach is deductive approach....show more content... We will come up with findings, acceptance or rejection of hypothesis and in the end; we go back towards existing literature. We formulated hypotheses based on the existed literature; we designed a method for collecting quantitative data in order to test the hypotheses.

  • 6. Deductive Critical Thinking INTRODUCTION In our day to day studies, almost everything is transformed into our understanding by the creation of arguments in our brains. An argument is basically described as a process of making what we think clear to ourselves and others .the final goal of an argument is usually to reach a conclusion which is sufficiently persuasive to convince someone of something. Any argument that relies on collection of data, on measurement, on information collected somehow (rather than on a general principle) is known as an inductive argument. On the other hand an argument which begins with a generally true phrase to a particular phrase is known as a deductive argument. BODY Usually in a deductive argument, the premises are meant to provide a guarantee...show more content... Inductive arguments, therefore, can take vary wide ranging forms, including arguments dealing with statistical data, generalizations from past experience appeals to signs, evidence or authority and casual relationship. The following is an example of an inductive argument: It has snowed in Massachusetts every December in recorded history. Therefore, it will snow in Massachusetts this coming December. How do inductive and deductive arguments help us in critical thinking? This is a question that needs much insight so as to fully understand the role of inductive and deductive arguments in critical thinking. Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally. It includes the ability to engage in reflective & independent thinking. So deductive and inductive arguments will help in the following ways in critical thinking: 1.Making accurate and logic decisions. In arguments, facts are reviewed, wrote and reviewed again. By this, it usually helps one to make decisions accurately .arguments really helps someone to understand every single piece of information because when you fail to understand a part of given information then it is likely to make biased Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Inductive Approach Deductive: Deductive reasoning is a logical process in which a conclusion is based on the concordance of multiple premises that are generally assumed to be true. Deductive reasoning is sometimes referred to as top–down logic. Its counterpart, inductive reasoning, is sometimes referred to as bottom–up logic. Difference: The main difference between inductive and deductive approaches to research is that whilst a deductive approach is aimed and testing theory, an inductive approach is concerned with the generation of new theory emerging from the data. Inductive or Deductive? Two Different Approaches Learning Objectives 1.Describe the inductive approach to research, and provide examples of inductive research. 2.Describe the deductive approach...show more content... Specifically, no hypotheses can be found at the initial stages of the research and the researcher is not sure about the type and nature of the research findings until the study is completed. In inductive approach there is no theory at the beginning point of the research, and theories may evolve as a result of the research: It is noted that "inductive reasoning is often referred to as a "bottom–up" approach to knowing, in which the researcher uses observations to build an abstraction or to describe a picture of the phenomenon that is being studied" (Lodico et al, 2010, p.10). In other words, in inductive studies no known theories or patterns need to be tested during the research process. Inductive reasoning is based on learning from experience. Patterns, resemblances and regularities in experience (premises) are observed in order to reach conclusions (or to generate theory). Here is an example: My nephew borrowed $100 last June but he did not pay back until September as he had promised (PREMISE). Then he assured me that he will pay back until Christmas but he didn't (PREMISE). He also failed in to keep his promise to pay back in March (PREMISE). I reckon I have to face the facts. My nephew is never going to pay me back Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Deductive and Inductive Approaches CHAPTER ONE DEDUCTIVE AND INDUCTIVE APPROACHES– A SHORT REVIEW 1.1. Definitions and names When it comes to teaching grammar two main trends have been competing with one another for ages, these are: deductive and inductive approaches. While the first one seems to be more successful as it has continuously been applied since ancient times, the other was appreciated only in Classical, Reneissance, 19th and 20th century (Johnson, 1999, p. 147). However, it seems to have gained real popularity recently. We can observe (Johnson, 1999, p. 147), that the deductive approach was extremaly in favour in the Middle Ages, 18th and 19th century, when reading, writing and translating texts were regarded as the most important skills. Luckily,...show more content... 228). According to Trahey and White in these exercises " ...learners are exposed to a high–frequency of a particular language form in the instructional input leading to better knowledge and understanding of that form by the learners" (Lightbown & Spada., 1999, p. 131). Pupils seem to be surrounded by the language, on the contrary in the deductive approach learners are given selected language structures to cope with, to complete tasks based only on this particular gramatical item. Batstone (1994) calls this type of approach "teaching grammar as product" or "form–focused approach" and sees it as a series of controlled activities with the significant role of the teacher and a slightly limited role of the learners (pp. 224–227). However, he does not condemn this approach, he admits it is still a very popular one and has some advantages. As a matter of fact, Batstone agrees with Long's opinion that "structures, notions, functions, etc." cannot "be acquired separately, singly, in linear additive fashion" and this is the weak point of the form–focused approach, yet it provides good knowledge of rules and reinforces students feeling of understanding the language structure and at the same time it encourages them to continue learning. In regards to the inductive approach Batstone calls it teaching grammar as process or meaning focused approach (pp. 224–227) and emphasises Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Deductive Reasoning Case Using deductive reasoning to go over this case I found it difficult to come to just one logical conclusion with so many general statements by these suspects. I first took notes about the case; including and highlighting the differences in each suspect's story which I then used to formulate my theory. After carefully reviewing this case I feel that Melissa Baker is suspect number one in this case. Not only did Melissa act too calmly when she was giving her statements, a calmness that seems questionable for a widow whom has just found her husband murdered in their home. Melissa also makes general statements that seem like she has an issue with how much attention her husband John is giving to the football games during the season which can only be taken as jealousy. Melissa also stated that she saw "Joe" in the home before she left for the shopping trip, this statement is inconsistent with the other two suspects involved and their statements. Melissa stands to inherit the business that her husband John has left behind. Another strange fact in this case is that the shopping bags that Melissa brought home from the store are still unpacked however Melissa stated that she did not think anything of the quiet in...show more content... When informed he seemed overcome with real surprise, however without prompt he openly admitted that he was supposed to be at John's.

He states that when he arrived at the home no one answered the door, but Melissa has already placed him at the scene before she left to go shopping in her statement. He also stated that John can be a cranky person. Joe also states that he looked into the windows to see if anyone was home, why would he look into the windows?

  • 10. Deductive and Inductive Reasoning Deductive and inductive reasoning A deductive argument tends to work from the generalized to the more specific. It often referred to as a top–down approach informally. The conclusions that are made in deductive argument follow logically from the facts that are available. A deductive approach can be taken on the statement traditional publishing has been rendered unnecessary by the rise of digital publication. Electrical publishing which is also referred to as ePublishing or digital publishing involves the publication of e–books, electronic articles, digital libraries and EPUBS. It is becoming a common trend to distribute books, newspapers and even magazines directly to readers through tablet reading devices. This has been generated by vendors who operate online like Apple iTunes bookstore and books in the android market among others. Market researchers have made suggestions that most of the magazines and newspapers that will be in circulation will be done through digital means by 2015(Sader, 2004). Most of the publishing companies are also considering making agreements with these electronic publishing networks like Apple so that they can increase the publications through them and eventually no more traditional publishing will be done (Rothchild, I. 2006). From the look at the general trend in publishing that most people and firms are taking as depicted above, it is safe to take the deductive conclusion that "Traditional publishing has been rendered unnecessary by the Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Formal logic has been described as 'the science of deduction '. The study of inductive reasoning is generally carried out within the field known as informal logic or critical thinking. 10 http://www.phac–aspc.gc.ca/publicat/cdic–mcc/18–3/d_e.html 11 Automated Reasoning Logic lends itself to automation.

Deductive approach is when theory and hypothesis are built up after reading literature and the testing theory and hypothesis is tested. Inductive approach is focused on the testing theory. When this theory developed from the analysis of collected data which depend on building theory (Saunders etal., 2003). So, the chosen method is the deductive approach.

When purchasing buyers have different choices all they make can be stressful and the possibility and demand on how to act and what to say can be an extra burden. Sometimes, the proposal of a product from consumers come or just take a product among many. It will be difficult to make choices, especially at the first purchase situation in an unknown environment. The purpose of this dissertation was to do a brand research to see the movements of consumers for brand awareness. When purchasing for the first–time what extent brand awareness matters in an unfamiliar environment or culture. According to the research or theories, the consumer often buys products most they recognize the brand easily more than the unknown brand. So, the factors have a greater effect on the consumers for their buying behavior. Because of the time limitations, we are focusing on the best–known theories in this field. The population was limited to the students of Daffodil University. The theories in our questionnaire only included everyday commodities since student's probable buy such products that they need for daily use products.

  • 16. Deductive Approach Paper The inductive approach to research refers to a strategy where the researcher starts the study gathering all the data relevant to the topic being studied. When they have collected all the necessary information, the researcher conducts an in–depth review of the data with the aim of developing a deep understanding of the concept being studied. The researcher explores the data making observations on crucial points and establishing all the significant patterns crucial to determining the outcomes. Then, the researcher develops a theory that helps him to explain the reasons for the development of the observed patterns. Therefore, the technique involves the shift from the specifics to a general observation that can be applied in the overall case. After the analysis of the data, the researcher explores the existing theories on the topic and positions the newly developed theory within the existing body of knowledge (Creswell, 2003). The deductive approach is the opposite of the procedure followed in inductive research. The study ...show more content...

I have learned through the Myers Brigg assessment that the likely reason for failing to complete college in the past was my ENFJ learning style. When I took a class that was of great interest to me and used active learning methods such as debates I was able to do well and enjoyed it. When I needed to take a class that I failed Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. Deduction Vs Deductive Reasoning Induction and deduction are pervasive elements in critical thinking. They are also somewhat misunderstood terms. Arguments based on experience or observation are best expressed inductively, while arguments based on laws or rules are best expressed deductively. Most arguments are mainly inductive. In fact, inductive reasoning usually comes much more naturally to us than deductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning that is based on a general statement of fact is hard to argue with. When using this method, you begin with a factual statement that describes a class of things, such as animals. "In deductive inference, we hold a theory and based on it we make a prediction of its consequences. That is, we predict what the observations should be if the...show more content... Once this step has been completed, the next step involves coding the data for statistical analysis in which the results are supported with theories. The important item that makes inductive profiling more robust than deductive profiling is, through research observable patterns in the data can be found that lead to new theories. Rather than being stagnated with held views of behavior, inductive profiling is like a revolving door – researchers are always striving to look for emerging patterns in crime data, which leads to new ways to assist Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 19. Deductive and Inductive Grammar Teaching DEDUCTIVE AND INDUCTIVE GRAMMAR TEACHING By Arnis Silvia (arnis.silvia@gmail.com) I. Introduction: What is Grammar Teaching and Why? In traditional setting, grammar teaching is seen as the presentation and practice of discrete grammatical structures. More comprehensively, Ellis1 (2006) defines grammar teaching as: Grammar teaching involves any instructional technique that draws learners ' attention to some specific grammatical form in such a way that it helps them either to understand it metalinguistically and/or process it in comprehension and/or production so that they can internalize it. Further, Ellis (2006) points out some key concepts in teaching grammar. First, some grammar lessons might consist of presentation by...show more content... Within this period, grammar was abandoned. However, the language users now agree that grammar is too good to be abandoned, as without good command of grammar, language development will be constrained. Besides, 3 Richards, J.C, & Renandya, W.A (eds). Methodology in Language Teaching: An Anthology of Current Practice). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. 2002. p.145 language within a good grammar is a requirement for someone to be accepted in certain social contexts, says academics, law, medics, and such where the use of language Since then, the issue does not ask whether to teach grammar or not, but it shifts to: how should we teach grammar? should we teach it deductively or inductively? which grammar should be taught? It implies that "the controversy has always been whether grammar should be taught explicitly through a formal presentation of grammatical rules or implicitly through natural exposure to meaningful language use." (Nassaji & Fortos4, 2011) Further, the most current issue in grammar teaching mentions that the main issues of grammar and grammar teaching covers three major problems, which are: " ... beginning with those that conceptualized teaching in terms of methods with an exclusive focus on grammar, continuing later as types of exposure to meaningful communication, and emerging more recently as a set of instructional options Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 20. Compare And Contrastive And Deductive Reasoning The inductive and deductive reasoning seems dissimilar to each other from all accounts. Inductive reasoning involves a scientist using series of correlated observations to reach or infer a conclusion while deductive reasoning involves predicting a specific result by following existing laws and general concepts that support a conclusion (OpenStax College, & Rice University, 2013). So, considering the definition of inductive reasoning and the definition of deductive reasoning and their mode of operations highlighted above, they are apparently different from each other. In comparing and contrasting both approaches, inductive reasoning focuses on observation while deductive reasoning considers the generally accepted facts to ascertain the authenticity of a specific case. With the obvious difference in their modus operandi, inductive and deductive reasoning both use hypothesis, tests, repetitions...show more content... The two methods can, as a matter of fact, be complementary when used in experiments. In other words, the top–down logic of the deductive reasoning can be supported by the bottom–up logic of the inductive reasoning. In addition, it may be necessary to evaluate which approach is best for getting the required findings. The observational approach used by inductive reasoning can be solidified by the evidence gathered from the test results of a supported hypothesis. This, in my opinion, is what an intelligent scientist should do when working on a specific experiment. In an attempt to find a solution or answer tough questions regarding scientific or biological matters, it would be unwise or unnecessary to apply rigidity in using any of the discussed methods as both are complementary to each Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 21. What Makes A Deductive Argument With your first argument I think you should add more to your premises or add another premise to support your conclusion. This example gives a very broad overview on alcohol related accidents. How much was the person that got into the accident drinking. You could add a premise that states this many percent of people drive while being legally intoxicated. I would also add for premise one the percent of people that die in alcohol–related accidents every year or for a certain number of years. This will make your argument stronger. With your second argument is more of a deductive argument as premise one and two are true and the conclusion is guaranteed. So this would be a valid deductive argument. For an inductive argument the conclusion should Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 22. Deductive Reasoning Since all three had an adverse reaction to me, I used deductive reasoning. Being so easily rejected, they appeared to be physically put off by my asking them for coffee. This reasoning led me to one simple conclusion, which was to ask myself if I had a right to ask any woman out, if I could cause such an adverse reaction. Awoman once told me I looked too serious when interacting with her. I still do not know what she meant by that. It appeared I had been Sheldon Cooper long before Jim Parsons played the character. I am sure some of this apprehension on my part is due to issues that I am struggling to overcome. I also suspect that I will always be dealing with some issue or another in the struggle to be free of the demons that haunted me Get more content on HelpWriting.net
