ESSAY: essay
1. Create a carefully worded and
precise RQ
-Define, describe, clarify (any
unclear words/phrases)
-Ask other researchers
2. Review the "Literature"" to explore
the RQ
-Primary literature: published reports
of original scientific research, peer
reviewed journals
-Secondary literature: everything
else
3. Create multiple HYPOTHESES and
make list of POSSIBLE answers to RQ
-Hypothesis: one of many possible
answers to the RQ
-Is it VALID: does it make sense
-Is it TESTABLE: can it be used to
generate PREDICTIONS
(deductions) about CMW world
4. Generate PREDICTIONS from your
hypothesis. Be SPECIFIC
-The deduction formula
-IF (my H is true), THEN what should I
observe in the real world
5. Do EXPERIMENTS test your
PREDICTIONS
-Establish clear & repeatable
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
-consider RQ, hypothesis, the
variables
-IV: deliberately change, "set up"
