Module 01 Discussion

Research

The scientific method allows us to pose questions, test
questions, and analyze results. Ethics is always inclusive of research, as we
must protect participants and be aware of appropriate methods for obtaining
information.

Through observation and research we begin to understand the
world around us. Consider research you have read about or been a part of: Was
the scientific method followed? How? What ethical considerations are important
to research?
