Research is a systematic investigation through critical study and analysis to discover new facts or draw conclusions about a subject. It involves using scientific methods to rigorously scrutinize a problem or question to determine if the suspected answer is valid or if common assumptions are correct. The goal of research is to move beyond guesswork or intuition to establish reliable knowledge through evidence-based investigation and analysis.

What is research?
Research is what we do when we have a
question or a problem we want to resolve
We may already think we know the answer to
our question already
We may think the answer is obvious, common
sense even
But until we have subjected our problem to
rigorous scientific scrutiny, our 'knowledge'
remains little more than guesswork or at best,
intuition](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/whatisresearch-130102005814-phpapp02/85/Whatisresearch-1-320.jpg)

This document discusses the importance of scientific thinking and evidence-based practice in social work. It outlines the scientific research process and contrasts this with relying on dogma or tradition. While craft knowledge and experience are valuable, claims should still be evaluated based on scientific evidence from research. The document emphasizes that social work research aims to provide practical knowledge to help clients and inform best practices, in line with NASW ethics of using the strongest available evidence to guide compassionate and problem-solving approaches.Doing research

This document provides an introduction to scientific research. It discusses what science is, the goals and basic assumptions of scientific research, and how knowledge is acquired. The goals of scientific research are described as description, explanation, prediction, and control. Key assumptions include uniformity in nature, determinism, and discoverability. Scientific research relies on control, operationalism, and replication to produce reliable knowledge. The roles of theory and the scientist are also outlined. Lastly, the document discusses pseudoscience and how to identify it based on practices that violate scientific methods.Earth science 1.5

A hypothesis is a tentative explanation that is tested to determine if it is valid, while a theory is a well-tested and widely accepted view that explains certain observable facts. Once data has been gathered, scientists state a possible explanation called a scientific hypothesis to explain how or why things happen in the manner observed.Inquiry

This document outlines steps for effective inquiry-based learning. It suggests that teachers should awaken prior knowledge, provide background context to create interest, and ask questions to focus learning and dig deeper. Teachers should then guide students to seek, discover, evaluate, interpret and analyze information and resources, continuing the questioning process. Finally, teachers should have students share and apply their new understandings, discover patterns, draw conclusions, and consider the effectiveness of the learning process by asking new questions.Meaning objectives -approaches of Research Methodology

Research can be defined as a systematic investigation aimed at discovering and advancing knowledge. There are various types of research including exploratory, descriptive, explanatory, and predictive research. Research is also classified as pure or applied and primary or secondary. Maintaining quality research is important for advancing knowledge within any academic discipline. The key objectives of research are to investigate problems, provide solutions, explore issues, and generate new understanding.Research method concept
