The English notion of Scientific Method

The development of the scientific method is usually credited to Roger Bacon, a philosopher and scientist from 13th-century England, although some argue that the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei played an important role in formulating the scientific method.

Later contributions to the scientific  method were made by the philosopher Rene Descartes.

Although some disagreement exists regarding the exact characteristics of the scientific method, most agree that it is characterized by the following elements:

1. • Empirical approach

2. • Observations

3. • Questions

4. • Hypotheses

5. • Experiments

6. • Analyses

7. • Conclusions

8. • Replication

Criteria for Research Problems

Good research problems must meet three criteria (Kerlinger, 1973).

First, the research problem should describe the relationship between two or more variables.

Second, the research problem should take the form of a question.

Third, the research problem must be capable of being tested empirically (i.e., with data derived from direct observation and experimentation).

Tips for making a presentation

1. A good presenter is expected to introduce oneself and the topic of presentation effectively, keeping in touch with the audience and stipulating involvement of the listeners.

2. A good presenter is expected to speak good English and stick to the point and avoid making far-fetched digressions in explanation.

3. A good presenter is expected to guide the audience through the structure of the report. A good presenter is expected to state and fulfil(l) the tasks of one's own presentation and provide clues for understanding the method, allowing to arrive at conclusions. 

4. A good presenter is expected to make comments on the text - not just read what's written on the slides. (All the comments must be informative and stipulating deeper understanding.). A good presenter is expected to deal with visuals effectively.

5. A good presenter is expected to maintain good control over the audience's understanding of the message, which may be provided in form of a dialogue or control questions or test.
