Fundamentals of Experimental Design

DATA

Data is raw material that needs to be processed to produce both qualitative and quantitative information that shows facts or phenomena.

Before the data is processed, it is necessary to first test the validity and reliability, both in terms of theoretical, content and empirical constructs.

 

DATA FUNCTION

To provide information about the characteristics or behavior of a phenomenon (population) that we are studying, both discrete and continuous, so that we can get an idea or can draw conclusions and make decisions based on data that has been collected and processed.

Relationship between Scientific Method and Experimental Method

The Scientific Method is a systematic approach aimed at understanding the universe based on observation and logic. This approach generates knowledge through verified and tested empirical evidence.

The Experimental Method is an integral component of the scientific method that involves the collection of empirical data through direct testing. It is one of various methods used in the scientific process to validate hypotheses and generate new knowledge. Through the experimental method, theories derived from the scientific method can be tested and strengthened or, if necessary, refuted and corrected. Thus, the experimental method plays a crucial role in the formation and refinement of scientific knowledge.
