Aim of postgraduate studies
To become a fully professional researcher which means:1 . To have a command of what is happening in your subject .3. To be able to discover where you can make a useful contribution.4. To be aware of the ethics of your profession and work within them.5. To have mastery of appropriate techniques that are currently being used,and also be aware of their limitations.6. To acquire the craft skills of research .7. To communicate your results effectively in the professional arena.ES Series on Scientific Research5

The scientific methodDefinition : A series of steps that scientistsuse to answer questions andsolve problems. There are six main steps:ES Series on Scientific Research16
The scientific method1.2.3.4.5.6.Question/Observation.Form Hypothesis.Test Hypothesis.Analyze Data.Conclusion.Communicate results.ES Series on Scientific Research17
1. Question/ObservationPose a question about an observation .ES Series on Scientific Research18
2. Form Hypothesis.Hypothesis: A possible answer to your scientific question. It is not a fact.Good hypothesis must be : testable a possible answer to your scientific question . If .then statement .ES Series on Scientific Research19
3. Test Hypothesis.TimeEthicsComplexityIs itfeasible?SkillsCapabilityResourcesES Series on Scientific Research20
Prepare for your experiment:1. Materials list.2. step-by-step proceduresinstructions.3. data chart , tables &observations.ES Series on Scientific Research21
Define Your Variables :Variables are anything thatmight impact the outcome ofyour study. Types :1. Independent variables2. Dependent variables3. Controlled variablesES Series on Scientific Research22
Standardize Your ProceduresES Series on Scientific Research23
Follow The 3 Principles of Experimental design(1) Randomization :Every experimental unithave the same chance.ES Series on Scientific Research24
(2) Local control :Control of all factorsexcept the onesabout which we areinvestigating.ES Series on Scientific Research25
(3) Replication :ES Series on Scientific Research26

4. Analyze Data Data :Facts gathered through your observations. Analyze :Look for patterns.Make a picture (graph) with your collecteddata or write an analysis.ES Series on Scientific Research28

5. Conclusion It is a summary of what you've learnt. You examine your results to see if itssupport your hypothesis. If it doesn't you may need to go back fixsome problems in your experiment andexperiment again.ES Series on Scientific Research33
6. Communicate results Sharing your ideas and results with others. Describe your procedures to others so theycan repeat it. Ways to communicate include : Meetings Scientific journals. Internet.ES Series on Scientific Research34
