Research process and

technological process

Due to the difficulty in the development of

research, at the end of the last century a process
was developed along with the discovery of
scientific rigor that would allow scientists to
develop a planned research with better results
and better implementation of time and resources.

Hypothesis
It is normal that before starting an
investigation, a hypothesis of the
development of the topic is proposed, this
happens when the researcher has experience
and can apply his judgment (it is important to
differentiate the hypothesis from the
inference and the theory since the latter are
more related to reality, the inference tries to
identify the relationship of two variables
based on the hypothesis and the theory seeks
to explain the causes).

Research
the objective of research is to create new
knowledge, for which the hypothesis is used
as raw material and the results obtained
must be validated through demonstrations,
verifications, verifications, etc.

Development
the objective of the development process is to
convert the new knowledge produced in the
research stage into applicable information
through the creation of methods, specifications
and prototypes, so it can be said that the result of
development are the methods of application of
the new knowledge, so research and
development should not be separated.
(secondary information is also necessary )

Implementation
The objective of implementation is to put into
practice the method developed in the previous
phase and to be able to correct possible errors, given
that the method often does not contemplate all the
factors involved in its implementation, in addition to
the fact that conceptual gaps can also be resolved in
the process, the researchers must be immersed in
the process. (transforms methods into techniques)

 technology transfer

when new techniques are developed, it is necessary

to make them known to the scientific world through
lectures, conferences, articles, etc. that will allow the
scientific community to know and understand the
benefits of the implementation of this new
technique and thus allow its use and propagation.

technological progress and

productivity

technological progress helps productivity to

a great extent, since its objective is to perfect
the processes of both material development
and research, thus better managing time
and resources, promoting productive
development.

quality of life

technological development has lowered the

cost of transporting inputs and food,
making many products more accessible and
positively impacting the quality of life of
human beings.

to take into account

Although technological development is good,
it has also contributed to many economic
crises throughout history due to instability
and constant changes in traditional
conditions, for which factors such as the
environment should not be ignored and
development should be focused on the good
of humanity and not in destruction
