Scientific Problem Solving by Expert Systems.

Good, Ron

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v21 n3 p331-40 Mar 1984

Human expert problem-solving in science is defined and used to account for scientific discovery. These ideas are used to describe BACON.5, a machine expert problem solver that discovers scientific laws using data-driver heuristics and "expectations" such as symmetry. Implications of BACON.5 type research for traditional science education research is considered. (Author/JM)
