PROBLEM DEFINITION

PHASE VS SCIENTIFIC
METHOD
https://thisvsthat.io/problem-definition-phase-vs-scientific-methods

Both the Problem Definition Phase and Scientific Methods entail

a methodical approach to problem identification and resolution.
The main goals of the problem definition phase are to precisely
define the current problem, comprehend its underlying causes,
and ascertain the intended solution. Similar to this, in order
to test their theories and come to conclusions, researchers in
the Scientific Method create hypotheses, carry out experiments,
and evaluate data. In order to arrive at a solution or response,
both procedures place a strong emphasis on the necessity of
collecting and evaluating data in an organized and logical
manner. The ultimate goal of the Scientific Methods and the
Problem Definition Phase is to offer a framework for critical
thinking and evidence-based problem-solving and decision-making.
