Background of the experimental scientific method
Where does comes the word method and what does means?
Comes from Greek meta, which means “beyond” and odoz (hodos), which means “way” so means “way to go further”
Who was the first researcher to apply a scientific approach with a series of well-defined steps?
Galileo Galilei
Is the hypothesis address the logical coherence of an argument to establish mathematical relationships between the phenomena observed
Deductive hypothesis
In this research is necessary to know antecedents and previous descriptions about the problem addressed or closely related to it based on the related bibliographic and documentary sources
Documentary Inquiry
Is a possible rational explannation to the research question, and it is formulated based on previous knowledge
Hypothesis
Are the characteristics and conditions of the object studied
Qualitative
Which method of practice Galileo used to achieve logical and rational explanations of natural phenomena?
Scientific method of resolving-composing
Is the variable that the researcher manipulates directly and deliberately
Independent variable
Consists of principles and procedures for the systematic of knowledge
Scientific Method
Helps you to collect data that you will then analyze to prove or refute your hypothesis
Experimentation
Are the numerical data obtained from the observation of an object of study
Quantitative
Which was the steps of the scientific method of Galileo?
Observation, Formulation of an Explanatory Hypothesis, Deduction and Experimentation
Is the variable in which we seek to intervene without intentionally modifying it
Independent variable
Which are the steps in the modern scientific method?
Observation, State of the problem, Hypothesis, Experimentation and Analysis and conclusions
In this step you will analyze the meaning of the data you obtained
Analysis and Conclusions
Which are the two fundamental elements for scientifc research?
Logic and experience
Is the hypothesis that can’t be verified because they are attributed to unknown forces impossibles to verify
Metaphysical hypothesis
The propose of this research is to obtain data and observations directly about the object or phenomenon that we aim to investigate
Exploration and field
In this step encompasses all the information that you can capture with any of your senses
Observation
Where do you reflect what you have achieved with your research, but also what you have learned?
Conclusion
Which research focuses on finding the relationship between a cause and a consequence for a particular phenomenon?
Experimental science
Is the hypothesis that arise to adapt them to a situation and that may present some logical contradictions
Ad hoc hypothesis
Offer is an overview by focusing us on one of the variable of the researcher problem, identifying and characterizing in particular features
Descriptive Approach
In this step you will answer the quiestion What will I study or investigate?
Statement of the problem
Is the variable that stays fixed during the experiment
Controlled variable
