paths 3 stage

Question 1

scientific knowledge is the result of

Answer 1

a trial and error process

Question 2

educated conjecture that is only supossed to be a fact when the experiments have proved it.

Answer 2

scientific hypothesis

Question 3

what happen if a hypothesis is capable of being proved correct but cannot be shown to be incorrect

Answer 3

is not scientific

Question 4

research method

Answer 4

process of steps to follow that leads us to produce explanations with higher grade of certainty

Question 5

qualiative and quantitative methods can be used

Answer 5

in expermiental and social sciences

Question 6

what are the constants any research needs to produce scientific knowledge

Answer 6

1. • each of the scientific disciplines raises different questions
2. • the way that seek to achieve scientific knowledge must conform the principles of logic
3. • every method of scientific research must also draw on experience, observation and experimentation.

Question 7

fundamental elements for scientific research

Answer 7

Logic and experience

Question 8

on what focuses research in experimental sciences

Answer 8

finding the relationship between a cause and a consequence for a particular phenomenon. to identify the relationship between 2 variables, one in course of qan experiment controlled by the researcher

Question 9

first researcher to apply a scientific approach with well defined steps was

Answer 9

galileo Galilei he used the scientific method of resolving-composing

Question 10

steps of experimental scientific method according to galileo

Answer 10

1. -observation
2. • formulation of an explanatory hypothesis
3. • Deduction (crucial)
4. • experimentation

Question 11

what are the 3 types of hypothesis according to Galileo

Answer 11

metaphysical hypotheses: cannot be verified because they are atributed to unknown forces

the hypothesis that arise to adapt them to a situation and may present logical contradictions

Deductive hypothesis: adress the logical coherence

Question 12

steps to carry out any scientific method of experimental research

Answer 12

1. • question must be stated without ambiguity
2. • had a control over part of the research
     a) independent: element that the researcher manipulates directly.
     b) dependent: element which we seek to intervene without intetionally modifying it
3. • the approach allows us to formulate a hypothesis before perfoming the experiment.

Question 13

approaches of experimental scientific method

Answer 13

exploration and field practices
descriptive approach
documentary inquiry

Question 14

exploration and field practices

Answer 14

visits to places where you can observe certain phenomena, the purpose is to obtain data and observations directly

Question 15

descriptive approach

Answer 15

focus o n one of the variables of the research problem

Question 16

documentary inquiry

Answer 16

it is necessary to know antecedents about the problem (bibliographic and documentary sources)

Question 17

stages of the experimental scientific method

Answer 17

observation 
statement of the problem 
hypothesis 
experimentation 
analysis and conclusions

Question 18

stages of the experimental scientific method

observation

Answer 18

find a problem or event that you want to explain

Question 19

stages of the experimental scientific method

statement of the problem

Answer 19

define the specific questions of the problem to investigate

theoretical framework

Question 20

stages of the experimental scientific method

hypothesis

Answer 20

analyze the consequences of possible explanations
generate tentative answers or póssible explanations

independent and dependent variables

Question 21

stages of the experimental scientific method

experimentation

Answer 21

design expermients to confirm or refute possible explanations and obtain results

Question 22

analysis and conclusions

Answer 22

make judgements base on the study of the results

Question 23

functions of the theoretical framework

Answer 23

it broadens the description of the problem
it delimits the scope of the research
it expresses theories and concepts of authors
it helps sort the observations
