Steps

Steps of the Scientific Method [14] - The scientific method has a similar structure to an hourglass - starting from general questions, narrowing down to focus on one specific aspect [15], then designing research where we can observe and analyze this aspect.

At last, the hourglass widens and the researcher concludes [16] and generalizes [17] the findings to the real world.

 

Steps of the Scientific Method

 

Aims of Research

The general aims of research [18] are:

Purpose of Research [22] - Why do we conduct research? Why is it necessary?

Elements of Research

Common scientific research elements [23] are:

Characterization - How to understand a phenomenon

Hypothesis [26] and Theory [27]

  • The research questions [15] before performing research
  • Almost always based on previous research

Prediction [20]

  • What answers do we expect?
  • Reasoning [28] and logic on why we expect these results

Observation [19] or Experimentation [4]
