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

ARISTOTLE METHOD

• 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

1. CONTROL
2. RIGOROUS
3. VALID AND VERIFIABLE
   
4. EMPIRICAL
   
5. CRITICAL
   

CONTROL

• 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
