Make a distinction between scientific and non-scientific research
Scientific research acquiring knowledge and truths about the data or
information using techniques that follow the scientific methods such
as identification of a problem, formulation of hypothesis, data
analysis data recording, presentation and interpretation, testing
hypothesis and recommendation and conclusion, whereas non-
scientific research is acquiring knowledge and truths about the world
using techniques that do not follow the scientific method.
Scientific research uses a logical process in conducting the research
and formulating the conclusion, whereas non-scientific research uses
techniques and strategies that are not based on the scientific method
in acquiring knowledge and arriving at a conclusion.
The finding of scientific research can be reproduced and
demonstrated to be consistent. While in non-scientific research, the
research it’s not logically stepped process that used for investigating
and acquiring or expanding our understanding.
Scientific research is a systematic way of analysing and interpreting
new or existing material through experimentation and observation,
while non-scientific research is based upon investigation of natural
phenomenon without systematic.
