The hypothesis is the assumption based on various facts, explaining the nature of any given phenomenon. Creation of a hypothesis – one of the major stages in scientific activity.
It is required to you
- - Certain assumption;
- - experimental space;
- - theoretical knowledge in the studied area.
Instruction
1. If you the scientist by the nature, inquisitive nature or just the student who needs to write research then you need to make own hypothesis.
2. Creation of a hypothesis begins with the assumption. On the basis of personal observations and earlier gained knowledge you can state the point of view on any question. But that this statement became a hypothesis, it has to correspond to certain criteria.
3. The first criterion of a scientific hypothesis is an opportunity to approve it experimentally. Laboratory trial is some kind of examination for your hypothesis. If the assumption was confirmed, means you on a right way.
4. The second criterion – accuracy. Formulate your hypothesis most precisely, considering possible reservations. Exclude any possibility of free interpretation. With it you will be helped by scientific terms which practically always have the standard, universal value. The hypothesis has to have accurate logical structure and exclude possible contradictions in itself.
5. Precisely formulated hypothesis which can experimentally be checked has to possess high degree of universality. Your assumption has to explain the nature one-two phenomena, and a number of questions from the considered scientific area. Your hypothesis should not contradict nowadays existing proved concepts (if, of course, you do not want to create essentially other concept of the universe).
6. The hypothesis which you developed should not be directed only to an explanation of what existed earlier and exists now. One more obligatory component of a productive scientific hypothesis is the possibility of forecasting of the fact that can theoretically occur if this assumption is right.
