Document Summary

Movesci 250 lecture #2 intro to research. Theory: related ideas with the potential to explain phenomena, based on data and accumulation of facts, they change over time and are developed through science, predict what is going to happen if , refuted, developed or supported through research. Hypothesis: theory affects hypotheses, tested through research and experimentation, possible explanation or result of research. Research: finding an answer to a question in a systematic fashion, the purpose is to understand dsomething better. Build and present a case based on data. Scientific method: process of solving problems systematically, uses inductive and deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning a specific fact is applied to general populations. Deductive reasoning taking general assumptions and applying them to specific situations: six steps. Evidence-based practice: uses practices based on research and evidence, derived and translated from research, a problem-solving approach to clinical practice, based on the search for and review of evidence and its effects on practices.
