Classical Education Systems

Quantitative research methods have a positivistic basis, which restricts wide scopes of related research due to their narrow and limiting assumptions set as well as specific and measurable date. Hence, the qualitative aspects of research and education are exterminated from consideration and in a way each individual is forced to think according to a set of standards and restrictive regulations. Especially, the formu-larized nature of quantitative research methods are mathematically supported, and 

The view that quantitative research produces numerical data in contrast to qualitative research producing textual data (words) is one way, albeit an overly simplistic means, of differentiating between quantitative and non-quantitative research [10]. 

Quantitative methods in educational research are fundamentally aligned with the successful philosophical-scientific-social legacy of the theologian-philosopher Rend Descartes (1596-1650) involving, 

Acceptance of these positivist features has facilitated consequently a gradual ascendancy or privileging of quantitative over qualitative methods during the past 300 years [8].

Traditionally in any education system crisp logic is much easier to reach to a common agreement because at the end it provides truth and precision even though in the idealized world. However, the classical education system renders the students to become acquaintant with precision by saying that science provides precision, which is not acceptable absolutely. Fuzzy education system provides open-mindedness in the argument of any problem and open for further criticisms, which helps to improve the present solution alternative, if any. 

Most importantly. Ideation International Inc. has brought information technology to TRIZ and in the process has created I-TRIZ (or Ideation-TRIZ). This is a thoroughly modernized version of TRIZ, a system combining the entire classical TRIZ intellectual foundation with more recent developments and with various sophisticated computer tools. In additional to the software, an entire educational system has been developed with all kinds of courses. The world TRIZ revolution has not yet begun, but its intellectual and software foundation is already in place. 

In a modem and innovative educational system almost all the concepts must be provided with uncertainty flexibility (fuzzy) especially at the higher educational systems. It is fixed from the long history of science by experience that not only freedom of thinking, but also suspicion from scientific conclusions should be incorporated for better advancements. The very word of suspicion leads to expectation and even viewing scientific knowledge as uncertain. Hence, the basic principles in a modem and innovative educational system should include the following points, which are contrary to classical or traditional education. 

Traditional and classical elanents must be minimized and even dismissed from an innovative education system. The authorizable teacher is the one who is authorized as knowledgeable, and especially, who has the abiUty of knowledge giving. 

Traditional or classical systematic education system may give comfort for teachers, but unfortunately it kills the functioning of young minds at the hand of those respected teachers in the society, especially in developing countries. Teachers in such educational systems may become mind killers bnt they may respected by higher anthorities, where the students requests or representations are not considered at aU. 

On the other hand, in classical engineering educational systems, more than basic logical propositions, formulations and determinism are mentioned for the solution of problems. Especially, in engineering and in many other disciplines also almost each field study at a site is completely different from other sites even though they may be close to each other. Therefore, determinism or crisp informational systems cannot provide productive new information for the description of phenomena concerned. 

Finally, the right actions of geoscientists dealing with natural hazards, even after the construction of the best of the codes, will still have barriers that cannot be overcome if the society does not realize (c). The educational systems should prepare the citizens to better understand certain concepts, recovering some of the classical philosophical ones and promoting the curiosity that leads to the knowledge how and why , because the utilitarian behaviour we see nowadays is a result of the conformism that moves the society to consider the knowledge that as the end of the road to happiness. 

John Frederic Daniell (1790-1845) was an English scientist who is well known for his invention of the Daniell cell, which is one of the earliest prototypes of electric batteries. The Daniell cell consists of two metal, copper and zinc, electrodes and is a classical electrochemical system conunonly used in electrochemical education. 

First we introduce the reader to the principles of such problems and their solution in Sections 5.1.2 and 5.1.2. As an educational tool we use the classical axial dispersion model for finding the steady state of one-dimensional tubular reactors. The model is formulated for the isothermal case with linear kinetics. This case lends itself to an otherwise rare analytical solution that is given in the book. From this example our students can understand many characteristics of such systems.
