attitude
Scientific attitude can be defined as, “open-
mindedness, a desire for accurate
knowledge, confidence in procedures for seeking
knowledge, and the expectation that the problem’s
solution will come through verified knowledge”.
Scientific attitudes are the most important
outcome of science teaching. Though some
people view the scientific attitude as the by-
product of teaching science, yet majority of people
consider them to be equally important as the
knowledge aspect.
Scientific attitude has a number of
characteristics and features that distinguish it from
other attitudes.
This includes curiosity, intellectual honesty,
critical-mindedness, open-mindedness,
skepticism, objectivity, and perseverance.

 Curiosity • Always try to seek, inquire,
discover.
 Fascination • It ensues with each discovery.
 Determination • Be persistent in your
endeavors. Be firm and self-confident.
 Open-mindedness • Open yourself to new
ideas. Do not be one-sided.
 Acceptance of Results • Consider failure a
step towards success because it gives you
additional scientific information on what to
avoid. Failure is a part of a continuum of
research.
 Objectivity • Do not be influenced by anything
but pertinent physical observations.
 Humility • Being modest and unassuming.
 Skepticism • Do not accept things blindly
without questioning. Develop a doubting
attitude unless presented with reliable data.
 Patience • Wait calmly for the result of the
investigation since most scientific study takes
time.
 Reflection • Being able to monitor and assess
one’s behavior/action.
 Empathy for the human condition • Putting
oneself in the position of another person
 Intellectual Honesty • Be truthful with all
results. Manipulating results may cause
misinterpretation of your work.
• Do not claim scientific discoveries of others.
 Perseverance • A good Scientist should not
give up.
 Self-Confidence • A scientist is confident and
ready to depend on his work, especially if he
knows that he is right.
 Scientific Intuition • Scientists should have a
gut feeling to intuitively predict that something
may happen/occur such as a disaster.
• This intuition is based on scientific training and
understanding of scientific principles, unlike a
fortune teller’s prediction based on tarot cards.
 Aptitude for Serendipity • Most scientific
breakthroughs came out of serendipity.
Serendipity means unexpectedly discovering
or finding things.
