Abstract

This paper discusses a way of introducing ascientific controversy, which emphasizes objectiveaspects of such issues as multiple theoreticalinterpretation of phenomena, choosing a theory,insistence on the chosen theory, and others. The goalis to give students a better insight into the workingsof science and provide guidelines for buildingtheories in their own research.
