Question

a.) What is the purpose and/or significance of "The Scientific Method"?

b.) How will "The Scientific Method" be applicable (or may be applied) in your major (course of study at Morgan State University), or when you graduate (to do your job)?

Answer 1

a) The purpose and/or significance of "The Scientific Method" are-

It is an essential tool in research. The scientific method involves developing and testing theories about the world based on empirical evidence.

It is defined by its commitment to systematic observation of the empirical world and strives to be objective, critical, skeptical, and logical.

It involves a series of prescribed steps that have been established over centuries of scholarship.

b) "The Scientific Method" will be applicable in your major or any course of study because they are the true methods of research, such as experiments, surveys, and field research.

A scientific process of research establishes parameters that help make sure results are objective and accurate.

Scientific methods provide limitations and boundaries that focus a study and organize its results.

Researchers want to maximize the study’s reliability, which refers to how likely research results are to be replicated if the study is reproduced. Researchers also strive for validity, which refers to how well the study measures what it was designed to measure. Both the parameters are fulfilled by following the scientific methods.
