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.

1. Scientific Method

2. Definition of
scientific
methods
Scientific methods are defined as controlled,
systematic investigations that are rooted in
objective reality & that aim to develop general
knowledge about natural phenomena.

3. Basic postulates of scientific method
It relies on empirical
evidence
It utilizes relevant concepts
It is committed to only
objective considerations
It presupposes ethical
neutrality
It results into probabilistic
predictions
It aims at formulating most
general axioms or what can
be termed as scientific
theories

4.  Thus scientific method implies an objective, logical and systematic method,
i.e., a method free from personal bias or prejudice, a method to ascertain
demonstrable qualities of a phenomenon capable of being verified, a
method wherein the researcher is guided by the rules of logical reasoning,
a method wherein the investigation proceeds in an orderly manner and a
method that implies internal consistency
