Detailed explanation-1: -(Kerlinger, 1972) Type 1: KNOWLEDGE AS BELIEF Conclusions are not based on empirical investigation, but on common sense; they should be considered as bases for forming hypotheses rather than established knowledge about second language acquisition and learning.
Detailed explanation-2: -Widely shared beliefs about the social or natural worlds held by lay members of society.
Detailed explanation-3: -People’s intuitions about human behaviour, also known as folk psychology, often turn out to be wrong. This is one primary reason that psychology relies on science rather than common sense. Researchers in psychology cultivate certain critical-thinking attitudes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Commonsense is mainly concerned with immediate action in context; science is mainly concerned with achieving some understanding which-to some extent-is independent of persons and context, and in this interest may eschew the need for guiding immediate action.
Detailed explanation-5: -’ Common sense is our knowledge of day to day life. Science goes a step beyond and provides scientific explanations for realities in life and those that we take for granted.
