Scientific methods of research
This document discusses the scientific method. It defines scientific methods as systematic investigations aimed at developing general knowledge about natural phenomena through objective and empirical means. The characteristics described include being orderly, attempting to control external factors, and basing findings on evidence that can be generalized. The purposes are listed as description, exploration, explanation, prediction, control, prescription, and identifying relationships. The steps outlined are selecting a topic, defining objectives and variables, stating hypotheses, designing the study, collecting and analyzing data, and communicating findings. Limitations discussed include ethical issues with human subjects, complexity of human behavior, measurement challenges, and difficulty controlling external variables.
Research Meaning, Definition, Research Process, Types and Motives
This document discusses research methodology and was presented by S. Harithaa. It defines research as a systematic method for seeking answers to questions through data collection and analysis. The research process involves selecting a topic, reviewing literature, designing the study, collecting and analyzing data, interpreting results, and drawing conclusions. Research has objectives like exploring phenomena, producing new knowledge, making discoveries or policies, and testing hypotheses. It is undertaken for motives such as obtaining degrees, solving problems, gaining knowledge, or contributing to society. There are four main types of research: descriptive vs analytical, quantitative vs qualitative, conceptual vs empirical, and applied vs fundamental.
scientific methods in research
Scientific methods are defined as controlled, systematic investigations that aim to develop general knowledge about natural phenomena through objective empirical evidence and relevant concepts. The scientific method relies on objective considerations, aims to formulate general theories through probabilistic predictions, and implies an objective and logical and systematic approach free from bias to ascertain verifiable qualities of phenomena.
Basic concepts in Research Methodology.
Before conducting research,in any field, researcher must understand the different basic concepts used in the Research Methodology.In this presentation, objectives, Need, Significance, Assumption & Hypothesis, these five concepts are considered.
Observation research
The document discusses observation as a research method for collecting data in behavioral science studies. It defines observation as systematically recording behaviors, objects, or occurrences without communicating with what is being observed. There are different types of observation including participant and non-participant, as well as direct and indirect observation. The advantages of observation are that it allows researchers to study natural behaviors without influencing participants. However, it also risks selective perception bias. Proper planning is needed when using observation which includes determining what to observe and how to record the data, such as with observation guides, checklists, or recording devices.

Research Methodology - Introduction
This document defines and discusses research methodology. It describes research as a systematic search for knowledge through investigation. The objectives of research are to gain new insights into phenomena and to test hypotheses. Research can be motivated by various factors such as intellectual curiosity, a desire for career advancement, or a desire to solve problems. The document outlines different types of research including descriptive vs analytical, applied vs fundamental, quantitative vs qualitative, and conceptual vs empirical. It also discusses various research approaches like quantitative, qualitative, experimental, and simulation approaches. Finally, it discusses the significance of research for advancing knowledge and solving problems across various fields.
Research identification of the problem
This document outlines the steps in the educational research process. It begins by defining research and noting that the first step is identifying and defining the problem. The key steps in identifying a problem are: selecting an area of interest; delimiting the problem by clarifying and limiting the scope; and evaluating whether the problem is researchable, new, significant, and feasible given the researcher's skills. Sources for identifying problems include personal experience, professional literature, contacts, suggestions, and social/technological changes. Once identified, the problem is further refined through operational definitions before hypotheses are formulated.
Research process
Research involves systematically investigating problems through an open-minded search for knowledge. The research process consists of 7 steps: (1) defining the research problem, (2) reviewing relevant literature, (3) formulating testable hypotheses, (4) designing the research methodology, (5) collecting data, (6) analyzing the data, and (7) interpreting the findings and reporting results. Following these steps in order helps ensure effective and rigorous research.
Induction & deduction
The document discusses inductive and deductive approaches to research. Deductive reasoning moves from general premises to more specific conclusions, taking a "top-down" approach. Inductive reasoning moves from specific observations to broader generalizations and theories in a "bottom-up" approach. Arguments based on rules and principles use deduction, while observations tend to use induction. While deduction leads to certain conclusions, induction draws conclusions that are probable but not certain from observations.
Introduction of research methodology
This document provides an introduction to research methodology. It defines research as a systematic technique for thinking that employs specialized tools and procedures to solve problems. The objectives of research are outlined as solving problems scientifically, generating new knowledge or theories, verifying facts, and analyzing events or phenomena. The key steps of research are identified as identifying the problem or area of research, reviewing literature, formulating the problem, deciding on objectives and hypotheses, collecting and analyzing data, interpreting results, and writing the research report. Finally, the document distinguishes between research methods, which are techniques for collecting and analyzing data, and research methodology, which is the overall systematic approach to solving a research problem.

Scientific research has several key characteristics: it pursues truth through logical consideration, is objective and replicable, reliable and valid, rigorous, and testable/generalizable. The research process involves realizing a problem, formulating a hypothesis, designing a study, collecting and analyzing data, and generalizing findings. Overall, scientific research uses scientific methods and tools to systematically study and explain variables in an objective, replicable manner.
Research unit 1
Research can be defined as a systematic investigation to establish new facts or solve problems. Nursing research specifically aims to validate and refine existing knowledge to directly influence nursing practice. It is needed to provide a scientific basis for nursing, develop new patient care techniques, and help determine areas for improved nursing practices. Nurses play a role in research by preparing documentation, obtaining approvals, coordinating studies, collecting data, and completing research. Research is characterized as being empirical, logical, cyclical, analytical, critical, methodical, and replicable. The research process involves identifying a topic, defining the problem statement, reviewing literature, formulating hypotheses, designing the study, collecting and analyzing data, and interpreting results in a report.
Lesson 2 Research Process.pdf
The document discusses the research process and good practices in conducting research. It defines research as seeking to solve problems and acquire new knowledge. The key phases of research are identified as idea generation, problem definition, procedure design, data collection, data analysis, interpretation, and communication. Research is also classified based on its purpose, methodology, and who undertakes it. Finally, good practices in research emphasized are following a systematic approach, using empirical data from real-world observations, conducting comprehensive analysis, ensuring accuracy, and practicing ethics.
Scientific method
The document discusses the scientific method, which refers to a standardized set of techniques for building scientific knowledge through making observations, interpreting results, and generalizing findings. The scientific method involves forming a hypothesis to explain observed phenomena and making predictions to test the hypothesis. It has five basic steps - making an observation, asking a question, forming a hypothesis, making a prediction based on the hypothesis, and testing the prediction - plus an iterative feedback step of using results to make new hypotheses or predictions. The scientific method helps research be more rigorous, systematic, reliable, valid, analytical, and accurate. It also increases the credibility and critical nature of research work.
PR1 Lesson 2.pptx
The document outlines the key characteristics of quality research including:
1. Research should be empirical, logical, cyclical, analytical, critical, and methodical based on direct experience, valid principles, starting and ending with a problem, proven data gathering procedures, careful judgement, and conducted without bias systematically.
2. Research design and procedures should be replicable to arrive at valid and conclusive results.
3. The research process involves defining the problem, reviewing literature, formulating hypotheses, designing the study, collecting and analyzing data, and interpreting and reporting results.
Presentations (MC chemistry 1 science).pptx
This document outlines science as both a process and a product. It describes 10 key processes of science: observation, classification, measuring, communication, relating space and time, experimenting, evaluating hypotheses, interpreting data, making operational definitions, and formulating models. These processes involve gathering data through observation and experimentation, developing hypotheses, and testing ideas. The product of science is the accumulated body of knowledge resulting from these processes, including facts, concepts, principles, theories, scientific gadgets, and other discoveries that lead to new inquiry. Facts can be either universal or dependent on specific conditions like time and place.
research lesson 3.pdf
The document outlines the key characteristics, processes, and ethics of research. It discusses 7 major characteristics of research including being empirical, systematic, controlled, employing hypotheses, analytical, objective, and involving original work. It also describes 7 common research processes: defining the research problem, reviewing literature, formulating hypotheses, designing the study, collecting data, analyzing data, and interpreting and reporting results. Finally, it explains that ethics in research are important as they promote knowledge, accountability, and social responsibility while protecting confidentiality and minimizing risks to human subjects.

Research methodology
This document provides an overview of research methodology and the scientific method used in psychological research. It discusses that research aims to create new knowledge or use existing knowledge in new ways. There are two main types of research - qualitative and quantitative. The scientific method involves recognizing a problem, collecting data through observation and experimentation, and formulating and testing hypotheses. It consists of six key steps and has characteristics like being systematic, relying on empirical data, and aiming for objectivity. Research in psychology also assumes empiricism, determinism, parsimony, and testability. The main types of scientific investigations are controlled laboratory experiments, field experiments, ex post facto field studies, and ex post facto laboratory studies.

Characteristics of Scientific method
- 2. SCIENTIFIC METHOD Principles and procedures for the systematic activity of knowledge involving the recognition and formulation of a problem, the collection of data through observation and experiment, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.
- 5. 1.SYSTEMATICS The systematic plan that must guide a scientific investigation must consider all the aspects and moments of this research.
- 6. 2. CONTROLLED Scientific research must avoid chance. The process must be supported by control mechanisms that allow it to obtain truthful results. All actions and observations are controlled.
- 7. 3. EMPERICAL It is a way of gaining knowledge by means of direct and indirect observation or experience. Is about Experiment with evidence.
- 8. 4. RATIONAL Science in general is characterized by being rational and logical. In a scientific investigation must emphasize the rationality on the subjectivity.
- 9. 5. REPRODUCIBLE The findings obtained through scientific research should be able to be reproduced under the same conditions established in the study.
- 10. 6. OBJECTIVE The results of scientific research must be universal.
- 11. 7. PROVISIONAL Science is constantly expanding. Scientific research is considered provisional because it must be open to further studies.
- 12. 8. ORIGINAL There is no sense in focusing scientific research on proven facts. If it is based on an existing research, the researcher should focus on a different area of the problem.
- 13. 9. ORDERED Planning must have a specific order, which responds to the interests of the study. Orderly structure allows developing a veracious, empirical and verifiable study.
