Philosophy of Science (IDC1201) 2020 THEORETICAL EXPLANATION ABSTRACT A theory is defined as a notion for explaining something or a set of guiding principles. Instead than focusing on the practical elements or applications of a subject, a theoretical study or explanation focuses on the concepts and abstract principles that connect to it. Theories are developed to explain, predict, and comprehend occurrences, as well as to question and extend current knowledge within the confines of key limiting assumptions in many situations. The theoretical framework explains and introduces the theory that explains why the research problem under investigation occurs. Keywords: theoretical definition, answer, difference, explanation power, review of current research and ideas on the issue is used to build the conceptual framework. 1. DEFINITION Instead than focusing on the practical elements or applications of a subject, a theoretical study or explanation focuses on the concepts and abstract principles that connect to it. A theoretical definition is a suggestion to see a phenomena in a specific manner that defines a word in an academic subject. A recommended style of thinking about possibly connected occurrences is referred to as a theoretical definition. 1.4 Answer In civil law, the ‘answer’ is the first formal response given by the defence to a complaint filled with the court by the plentiff. 2.0 Explanation power Explanatory power refers to a hypothesis' or theory's capacity to adequately explain the subject matter to which it applies. Explanatory impotence is its polar opposite. Various criteria or metrics for explanatory power have been presented in the past. These kind of explanations are based on theories that proven before. But practical status may differ from this. However, the difficulties in a theoretical explanation of robustness within the linguistic modelling suggested the adoption of an empirical notion. 2.1 hypothesis A hypothesis is a statement of fact, or a concept that is offered for the purpose of argument and then tested to determine whether it is true. Hypothesis and theory are commonly used interchangeably in nonscientific contexts to denote merely a notion, conjecture, or intuition, with theory being the more popular option. 1.2 Theoritical framework Abdellah defined theory as “ an explanation of a phenomenon or an abstract generalization that systematically explain the relationship among given phenomena, for purposes of explaining predicting and controlling such phenomena. A hypothesis examines the result of a research endeavor and, more specifically, the relationship between the two variables investigated in the study. Theoritical framework consists of theories that seem to be interrelated. 1.3 conceptual framework A conceptual framework is a textual or visual description of how variables are anticipated to interact. The qualities or features that you wish to investigate are known as variables. A literature Conclusion There are countless theories but they can be clearly classified into two groups: Scientific Theories which 1 Philosophy of Science (IDC1201) 2020 are considered “true” or “facts” because they have been found experimentally to work and we know why they work, and Un-scientific Theories which have been found wanting when similarly experimentally tested.
