* CAREFUL/SYSTEMATIC INVESTIGATION
2) 3 CONCEPTS: * CORRECT APPROACHES
* METHOD, VALID/RELIABLE
-valid: the instruments measure what its claims to measure
eg: the weighing scale is used to measure weight & . . . . . . . . .. . . the measuring tape used to measure stature.

3) PHILOSOPHIES
APPROACH / METHODS
- QUALITATIVE
- QUANTITATIVE
- ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE
RESEARCH VS NON RESEARCH
THE WAY WE FIND THE ANSWER
RESEARCH: - STRUCTURED INQUIRY
- UTILIZED ACCEPTABLE SCIENTIFIC METHODS
- SOLVE PROBLEMS & CREATE KNOWLEDGE THAT IS GENERATING
. APPLICABLE
NON RESEARCH: CASUAL DAY 2 DAY OBSERVATION

HISTORY SCIENCE
- EMPIRICAL MEASUREMENTS
- KNOWLEDGE COULD BE GAINED BY BUILDING UP WHAT IS ALREADY KNOW
- STUDY WHAT OTHERS HAD WRITTEN
- OBSERVE FOR GENERAL CONSENSUS ABOUT THE SUBJECT
- PERFORM A SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF EVERYTHING EVEN PARTIALLY RELATED TO TOPIC
CHARACTERISTIC OF TOPIC
- CONTROL
- RIGOROUS
- VALID AND VERIFIABLE
- EMPIRICAL
- CRITICAL
- NEED TO CONTROL THE FACTOR THAT AFFECT THE RESULT/OUTCOME
- CONCEPT - EXPLORE CAUSALITY IN RELATION TO 2 VARIABLES
- U SET UP UR STUDY IN A WAY THAT MINIMIZE THE EFFECT OF OTHERS FACT AFFECTING THE RELATIONSHIP
