Experiment is the work of thought

Social experiment is increasingly used in the world. And Russia in this regard is no exception. So what is an experiment? This word has Latin roots and in the meaning of meaning means a test of something, another meaning "test." This is a process of exploration, only deeper, even more suitable is the word "knowledge". In a social experiment, both a few people and an organization can take part. Carrying out is possible with the participation of the whole society as a whole, or individual groups of people. The organizer himself can take part or observe from the side for his conduct.

The social experiment has its own structure:

- Researcher;

- theory or hypothesis, which is subject to verification;

- the methods used;

- appliances or any objects (if there is a need);

- the object under study.

It also carries two functions:

- preliminary verification of the theory or hypothesis;

- obtaining new knowledge about the object, which is subject to study.

From the foregoing, we see that a social experiment is impossible without the support of the theory.

Here there are recommendations, various methodological aids. Any experiment starts with a thought, that is, in the beginning there is thinking and creating it in the mind. The experiment is analysis and design.

The simplest example is the study of a group of people in ordinary conditions of life. Social engineering is a small scale of experiment. In this subject, a special place is occupied by the works of the philosopher from the UK K. Popier. Social reforms that affect the political, economic life, cultural, should be attributed to the average scale of social experiment. The scientific revolution, the social one, must be attributed to large-scale social experiments.

A complete change in life is a social revolution. That part of the population A state that does not want to adopt new orders simply dies.

The scientific revolution changes the strategy of research, helps to perceive the world in a different way. The responsibility of scientists to society is increased, as their discoveries can lead to catastrophes and cataclysms. An experiment is something that can change the world.

The change in the pedagogical process under certain conditions is a pedagogical experiment. It has a creative character. New forms of teaching and educational work are being created . Participates group of students, school, class. The scientific hypothesis is decisive. The experimental conditions determine the reliability of the results.

Depending on the purpose, pedagogical experiments are divided into species;

- ascertaining, which studies pedagogical phenomena, which are already there;

- creative, shaping, transforming - creates pedagogical phenomena of a new type;

- an experiment refining, verifying, after understanding the problem, tests the hypothesis.

It also differs by location and can be laboratory or natural.

Experiment is, first of all, research.
