BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCE science focusing on understanding action, development, behaviour, values of individuals, institutions, or societies. Includes anthropology, sociology, and psychology.(Woncadic)epistemology 1. The theory of knowledge. Epistemological questions include the origin of knowledge, the place of experience and reason in generating knowledge, the relationship between knowledge and certainty and between knowledge and the impossibility of error, and the changing forms of knowledge as societies change. These issues are linked with others, such as the nature of truth and the nature of experience and meaning. 2. The study of the relation between the knower (or would-be knower) and what can be known. Answers to these questions are constrained by answers to ontological questions.(Dicepid)HEURISTIC INQUIRY a method of reasoning that emphasizes personal insights and experiences of the researcher. It asks, "What is my experience of this phenomenon and the essential experience of others who also experience this phenomenon intensely?"(Woncadic)Heuristics ; Experience-based techniques for problem-solving, learning, and discovery that find a solution which is not guaranteed to be optimal, but sufficient for a given set of goals.
