Research Methods Unit Spec & Qs Understand the Scientific Process Be able to define; Paradigm, Induction, Deduction, Objectivity, Replicability, and Operationalisation Complete Operationalisation Activity

INDUCTION OR DEDUCTION?

Induction or Deduction? Induction Creating a theory from observed data Deduction A theory is tested to see if it is supported in research

THE ROLE OF PARADIGMS POPPER’S HYPOTHETICO-DEDUCTIVE MODELS Identify a problem Develop a hypothesis about the problem. This should be predictive and testable! Devise a study to test the hypothesis Analyse and evaluate the results to determine whether they support the hypothesis Modify and repeat process in light of previous stage Develop a Theory

Can Psychology be objective?

Can a science with different approaches be reliable?
