IMPORTANCE OF SCIENTIFIC METHOD
By Jun King B. Mendoza
Introduction:
Scientific method refers to bodies of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning. A scientific method consists of the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.
Although procedures vary from one field of inquiry to another, identifiable features distinguish scientific inquiry from other methodologies of knowledge. Scientific researchers propose hypotheses as explanations of phenomena, and design experimental studies to test these hypotheses. These steps must be repeatable in order to dependably predict any future results. Theories that encompass wider domains of inquiry may bind many hypotheses together in a coherent structure. This in turn may help form new hypotheses or place groups of hypotheses into context.
Among other facets shared by the various fields of inquiry is the conviction that the process be objective to reduce a biased interpretation of the results. Another basic expectation is to document, archive and share all data and methodology so they are available for careful scrutiny by other scientists, thereby allowing other researchers the opportunity to verify results by attempting to reproduce them. This practice, called full disclosure, also allows statistical measures of the reliability of these data to be established.
“Truth is sought for its own sake. And those who are engaged upon the quest for anything for its own sake are not interested in other things. Finding the truth is difficult, and the road to it is rough.”–this means that once we have problem, the way to solve it is quite hard but then if we try to solve it step by step or systematically, we will make it.

Importance of Scientific Method in the Community
-
Oftentimes, we encounter some problems in our community, such as disputes between neighbors. If their case reaches the office of the Barangay Chairman, they present their respective arguments that sometimes muddle the truth.
-
When this happens, the barangay official can use the scientific method to determine the truth and decide intelligently on the matter.
-
The scientific method can help in solving many problems and all the practitioner has to do is to follow several simple steps.
Importance of Scientific Method at Home
- There problems at home that we can solve with the use of scientific method. A common one is missing cash, which often leads to speculations and wrong accusations. Following the steps of this method you’ll be able to come up with the right answer that satisfies your question.

Not everything that you wanted
and worked hard for,
is always meant to be yours..
Somehow you lose and think
its a problem,
Don’t run from it,,
try to solve it,,
and after you got the answer
and if it’s good
accept it..
But when you lose,
There will come a better one
that you surely deserve
more than anything..
