Answer the following questions.

1. What are the steps of scientific inquiry / method?
• The steps of scientific inquiry/ method are identification and definition of the problem, formulation of
hypothesis, implication of hypothesis through deductive reasoning, collection and analysis of
evidence and verification of hypothesis.

2. Explain how scientific method relates theory development?

• Scientific theories are created through the process of the scientific method. Observation and research
lead to a hypothesis, which is then tested. If the hypothesis is not disproven, it will be reviewed and
tested repeatedly. A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world that
can incorporate laws, hypotheses and facts.

3. What is theory? What are the principles to be considered while stating a theory?
• Theory explains how some aspect of human behavior or performance is organized. It thus enables
us to make predictions about that behavior. The components of theory are concepts (ideally well
defined) and principles. A concept is a symbolic representation of an actual thing - tree, chair, table,
computer, distance, etc. The process of contemplative and rational thinking is often associated with
such processes as observational study or research. Theories may be scientific, belong to a non-
scientific discipline, or no discipline at all.

4. Explain the relationship among Science, Education and Educational Research?

• Science belongs to precision and exactness. It suffers hardly from any variable. But education as a
social science suffers from many variables, so goes away from exactness. Educational Research
tries to make the educational process more scientific. But education is softening from multivariable,
so it can‘t be as exact as physical sciences. If the study is systematically designed to achieve
educational goals, it will be educational research.
