What is Research?
Basic vs Applied Science Applied science focuses on the development of technology and techniques. In contrast, basic science develops scientific knowledge and predictions, principally in natural sciences but also in other empirical sciences, which are used as the scientific foundation for applied science.
Your Research? Choose something based on your interests (if possible) Discuss this with your mentor (SOON SOON SOON PLEASE!) Must have SCHOLARLY literature review Must be directly related to your internship (of course)
RESEARCH MUST BE BASED ON DATA!!! Your RESEARCH MUST BE BASED ON DATA!!!
Basic Science vs. Social Science Traditional science research falls under “basic science” Physics, chemistry, “how nature works” develops scientific knowledge and predictions, principally in natural sciences Variables can usually be controlled and manipulated Ideally one independent variable, everything else is constant
Basic Science vs. Social Science Applied Science research focuses on the development of technology and techniques based on basic science knowledge Also some control and manipulation of variables Design projects – have design constraints instead of true research questions
Basic Science vs. Social Science Social Science research Observational, descriptive, case study Experimental social science – variables are usually impossible to control Sampling considerations: large numbers, random sampling is best
