The document discusses scientific research. It defines research as the systematic analysis and recording of controlled observations that can lead to generalizations and theories. Scientific research has several key characteristics: it pursues truth through logical consideration, is objective and replicable, reliable and valid, rigorous, and testable/generalizable. The research process involves realizing a problem, formulating a hypothesis, designing a study, collecting and analyzing data, and generalizing findings. Overall, scientific research uses scientific methods and tools to systematically study and explain variables in an objective, replicable manner.

3. What is Research ?
 According to John W. Best, “Research may be defined
as the systematic and objective analysis and recording
of controlled observations that may lead to the
developments of generalizations, principles, or theories,
resulting in prediction and possibly ultimate control or
events.”
 Research fulfills the gap of knowledge.

4. Research Process
 Realizing
 Problem identification
 Theoretical framework
 Hypothesis formulation
 Research design
 Collection of data
 Data analysis and interpretation and
 Generalization of data

5. Scientific Research

6. Introduction- Scientific Research
 Science is the study of the structure and behaviour of
the physical and natural world in systematic manner
specially through observation and experiment.
 Results of science are developed from
 Observation and experiments
 They have the relationship of Cause and effect.
 Able to tested and retested
 Universally true principle

7. Introduction- Scientific Research
 So the result of Scientific Research
 Rigid
 Empirically testable
 Clearly defined variables
 Facilitates Direct observation and Correction
 Have fixed answer (Objectivity)
 Replicability (Can be tested again and again)
 Scientific research is focused goal of problem solving.It
follows certain scientific steps, methods and it has the nature
of replicability.

8. Characteristics of scientific research
 Its primary goal is to pursuit of truth as determined by logical
consideration.
 The following are the main key characteristics:
1. Purposiveness:
2. Objectivity:
3. Replicability
4. Reliability
5. Validity
6. Rigor
7. Testability and generality

9. Characteristics of scientific research…

7. Testability and generality:

11. Conclusion
 Scientific research follows scientific methods and tools
to explains its variable.
 So it is true to say that “Scientific research relies on Real
science rather than Idle science”
