Scientific Method of Problem Solving
• Step 1: develop the problem (define and delimit it)– identify independent and dependent variables
• Step 2: formulate the hypotheses– the anticipated outcome
• Step 3: gather data– maximize internal and external validity
• Step 4(5): analyze and interpret results

A framework for understanding the steps of scientific inquiry
• Initial question, problem, idea, or issue• Specific purpose, question, or
prooblamatisation• Data collection – what data are collected? From
whom?• Analysis of data• Discussion and interpretation• Conclusion – answers to research questions,
limitations, and generalizability
