What is research?
Thinking like a scientist From the article, I found that there are many ways to gain knowledge, some are better than others. The most important and reliable method is gaining knowledge via science and involving a merger of rationalism and empiricism at the same time. This way is a logistic way. In this way, hypotheses are testable. What’s more, we can merge rationalism and empiricism to adjust and reevaluate our position. Scientific research has three basic goals: to describe behavior, to predict behavior and to explain behavior. Prediction allows us to identify the factors that indicate when an event or events will occur. Explanation allows us to identify the causes that determine when and why a behavior occurs. We need to demonstrate the factors that we can use to produce or eliminate the behavior.
Empiricism: It is a theory of knowledge which states that knowledge comes only or primarily from sensory experience. One of several views of epistemology, the study of human knowledge, along with rationalism, idealism, and historicism, empiricism emphasizes the role of experience and evidence, especially sensory experience, in the formation of ideas, over the notion of innate ideas or traditions; empiricists may argue however that traditions (or customs) arise due to relations of previous sense experiences.
Empiricism in the philosophy of science emphasizes evidence, especially as discovered in experiments. It is a fundamental part of the scientific method that all hypotheses and theories must be tested against observations of the natural world rather than resting solely on a priori reasoning, intuition, or revelation.
Empiricism, often used by natural scientists, asserts that “knowledge is based on experience” and that “knowledge is tentative and probabilistic, subject to continued revision and falsification.” One of the epistemological tenets is that sensory experience creates knowledge. The scientific method, including experiments
