Naučna metoda

Naučni metod označava proces kojim naučnici dolaze do spoznaja o određenim fenomenima putem postavljanja pretpostavki te njihovog provjeravanja kroz eksperimente. Da bi imao naučni karakter, istraživački metod mora biti zasnovan na prikupljanju primetne, empirijske i merljive evidencije. Naučni metod je: „metod postupaka koji su osobeni za prirodne nauke od 17. veka, i koji se sastoje od sistematskih posmatranja, merenja i eksperimenta, kao i formulacije, testiranja i menjanje hipoteza“.

Metod je u teoriji saznanja i nauci, sistematski, objektivan način dolaska do nedvosmislenog odgovora na postavljene hipoteze. Postoji više vrsta podela metoda od kojih su najpoznatije metode u prirodnim i društvenim naukama.
