The Scientific Method
Dogmas and Thinking
100
It is a systematically structured set of knowledge about the Universe, obtained through observation and reasoning, which allows the deduction of principles (theories) and general laws.
What is science?
100
The term refers to the correlation between thought and reality. A statement is a truth only if it corresponds with the observed facts. It relates to symbols (models). A model must correspond with reality.
What is the theory of correspondence?
100
Sciences that depend on logical reasoning and work with ideas created by the human mind. The method of work is the Logical Inductive Method, with all its variants. Formal sciences are Mathematics, Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology, Economy and Philosophy, each one with all of its branches.
What are Formal Sciences?
100
It is a tentative statement that can be submitted to experimentation to verify whether it is false or true.
What is hypothesis?
100
It is a peremptory-formulated statement of a religious or philosophical doctrine proposed for belief not for discussion.
What is dogma?
200
Science is knowledge of the real nature of this.
What is the universe?
200
This scheme proposes that the truth must be tested through its functional effects on certainty. This theory refers to scientific observations of nature. Any description of a model should be demonstrated as a function of the real observed phenomenon.
What is the pragmatic theory?
200
Sciences that are based on observable natural facts. Factual sciences are Biology, Physics and Chemistry, with all their derived disciplines.
What are Factual Sciences?
200
After he has enunciated one or more hypotheses or proposed explanations, the researcher can then elaborate one or more of these.
What are predictions?
200
: It was not until 130 years after its publication that an experimental design was devised that could be used by scientists to test the veracity of this.
What is Darwin's Theory of Evolution ?
300
To achieve comprehension of natural phenomena, we appeal to this.
What is the scientific method?
300
The concept suggests that primarily a statement should be consistent with other statements with which such affirmation is related. It refers to the descriptions of real phenomena. A description should always be coherent with the observed phenomenon.
What is the theory of coherence?
300
Biology, Physics and Chemistry are sciences that use mainly this, although in some particular cases they resort exclusively to the Observational Method.
What is the Experimental Method?
300
Each hypothesis should be submitted to an exhaustive test called this.
What is experimentation?
300
It is based on observations of nature. It is thus, because, according to the theory of truth, nature is the source of reality.
What is scientific reasoning?
400
The hypothetical-deductive method can be exemplified in this large branch of science of living things.
What is Biology?
400
Scientific theories, or in the beginning, their hypotheses for that matter, must be based on these.
What are the theory of coherence, the theory of correspondence and the pragmatic theory?
400
It means “based on pure observation”. Observation is performed with our simple senses or with the aid of appropriate instruments. Astronomers and Cosmologists base most of their annotations on the Observational Method because the objects of their study are out of reach of the researchers.
What is Observational?
400
Through this, the observer then tries to give one or more logical answers to these questions. Each answer is a tentative introduction that can serve as a guide for the remainder of the investigation.
What is inductive reasoning?
400
It must be congruent with observed reality
What is rational thinking?
500
It refers to obtaining a conclusion about particulars from a general or universal concept.
What is deductive method?
500
This is good for science because it serves to influence the critical assessment of hypotheses, theorems and theories.
What is skepticism?
500
The theory of life has been summarized as this kind of definition.
What is operational?
500
When a hypothesis is proven true, scientists then process a final statement, which, in science, is called this.
What is theory?
500
When an idea is generated from observable facts and is verified as factual, it is reserved to this, as long as that idea has been confirmed empirically.
What is the theoretical plane?
