Perbedaan Teori dan Model
- What is a theory?
- A theory provides a general explanation for observations made over time.
- A theory explains and predicts behavior.
- A theory can never be established beyond all doubt.
- A theory may be modified.
- Theories seldom have to be thrown out completely if thoroughly tested but sometimes a theory may be widely accepted for a long time and later disproved.
(Dorin, Demmin & Gabel, 1990)
- What is a model?
- A model is a mental picture that helps us understand something we cannot see or experience directly.
