Main characteristic of participatory research - correct answer The researcher plays
an active role in the collection of data
What is science? - correct answer Science refers to an organised system or the
logically ordered whole of scientific knowledge and may be regarded as the scientist's quest to
knowledge and understanding
The distinguishing characteristics of science are: - correct answer The organised or
systematic nature of the knowledge (or the fact that it is arranged into a logical order)
That it is the result of the scientist's quest for knowledge and understanding
That it has specific qualities
What is scientific research? - correct answer Kerlinger and Lee (2000) - Scientific
research is the systematic, controlled, empirical and critical investigation of natural phenomena, guided
by theory and hypothesis about the presumed relations among such phenomena.
There are two points of concern of scientific research - correct answer When we say
that research is systematic and controlled we mean that scientific investigation is ordered so that
investigators can have a critical confidence in research outcomes.
Scientific investigation is empirical. If scientists believe something is empirical, they must somehow or
other put their belief to a test outside themselves. Subjective belief, in other words, must be checked
against objective reality.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCIENTIFIC AND NON-SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH - correct answer
Scientific research refers to a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new
knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. It consists of collection of data through
observation, as well as experimentation and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.
Non-scientific research investigates human society and individual relationships in and to society. It
consists of data gathered through observation and it presumes relations among natural phenomena.
