Five Steps of the
Scientific Process: Correct Answer - Hypothesis
- Method
- Data collection
- Results
- Evaluation
Hypothesis: Correct Answer
Ask the question that is to be the main focus. It usually includes independent
and dependent variables.
Method: Correct Answer
Decide what data will be collected to answer the question. Decide on and
identify the step-by-step procedure that will be used to collect these data.
Make sure this process can be easily replicated.
Data collection: Correct
Answer Implement the step-by-step procedure that has been determined to answer
the question.
Results: Correct Answer On
the conclusion of the data collection, statistically identify the outcomes. Establish
parameters (e.g., level of significance) that will determine whether the data
are relevant.
Evaluation: Correct Answer
Examine the results to determine the relevance of outcome data in answering the
hypothesis. Determine the significance and identify the potential for future
research.
Criteria for Theory
Acceptance Correct Answer - Inclusiveness
- Consistency
- Accuracy
- Relevance
- Fruitfulness
- Simplicity
Inclusiveness: Correct
Answer Does the theory include all concepts related to the area of interest?
Consistency: Correct Answer
Can the theory address new entities without having its founding assumptions
changed?
Accuracy: Correct Answer
Does the theory explain retrospective occurrences? Does the theory maintain its
capacity to predict future outcomes?
Relevance: Correct Answer
Does the theory relate to the scientific foundation from which it is derived?
Is it reflective of the scientific base?
