 Experimental research
• Experimental research is a type of research that uses experiments and the
principles found in the scientific method. Experiments can be carried out in
the laboratory or outside of it.
• Experimental research is made up of a set of methodical and technical
activities that are carried out to collect the necessary information and data on
the topic to be investigated and the problem to be solved. “HsE/
 Research characteristics
experimental
• Experimental research is presented through the manipulation of an unproven
experimental variable, under rigorously controlled conditions, in order to
describe how or why a particular situation or event occurs.
• The experiment is a situation caused by the experiment, introducing certain
study variables, manipulating, controlling the increase
or decrease in those observed behavior variables.
 Methodology
Stages that the researcher must carry out to carry out experimental research.
*Presence of a problem. For which a bibliographic review has been carried out.
*Identification and definition of the problem.
*Definition of hypotheses and variables and their operation.
*Design of the experimental plan. -Research design. -Determination of the population and sample.
-Selection of measuring instruments. -Development of instruments. -Procedures for obtaining data.
*Data reliability test.
*Conducting the experiment.
*Data treatment. Here at this point we must take into account that one thing is the raw data, another is the
processed data and another is the data that must be considered definitive.

due to tiredness or boredom.
• ORIGINALITY.-Ingenuity must be put into practice to create or raise topics with new approaches,
avoiding imitations or copies.
• RELEVANCE.-That the research contributes something to science, to humanity, or to oneself.
investigator.
r

• PRECISION.- Precision avoids generality that will lead to superficial and confusing results.
• OBJECTIVITY.- When posing a problem, it must be done faithfully to the object of study and for it to
be objective, a closed attitude must not be assumed.
 Research objectives

Considerations that must be taken into account when setting objectives:

• 1. Its formulation must include specific results in the development of the research.
• 2. The link of the objectives must be within the possibilities of the researcher.
General objective.
❖ Specific objective.
How to formulate objectives: A well-formulated objective is one that manages to convey what the
researcher is trying to do; that is, what you intend to obtain as a result. The best statement of an
objective includes the greatest number of possible interpretations of the purpose to be achieved.

 Framework
• The frame of reference is the research that is carried out and that must take into
account the previously constructed knowledge, since it is part of an existing
theoretical structure. The theoretical referential framework consists of identifying
everything developed and related to our topic.
• HOW TO MAKE A FRAME OF REFERENCE
1. Review the basic bibliography
2. Select the bibliography or reading process.
3. select some terms as a kind of glossary.
 The hypothesis
A hypothesis serves as a guide for obtaining data based on the question presented in the problem, or
also to indicate how they should be organized according to the type of study.
Establish the variables to study, that is, specify the variables to study, set limits for them.
Establish relationships between variables, that is, the hypothesis must be specified in such a way
that it serves as a basis for inferences that help us decide whether or not it explains the observed
phenomena.
Maintain consistency between fact and hypothesis, since these are based on facts already known
in the field of study.
They need a minimum number of ad hoc assumptions. Hypotheses should be formulated in the
simplest way possible.
 Carrying out the experiment
The next step is the creation of an experimental method , which helps the
evaluator to obtain the desired results, for example, through the graphic
representation of the results, or through the use of control groups.
Immediately afterwards, the experiment must be carried out , or what is
the same, the hypothesis must be verified , it is the implementation of the
experimental method, to verify the incidences and thus be able to determine
the objects.
 Interpretation of results
• It is one of the decisive phases for the development of scientific work. It involves firstly the
collection and recording of information, the analysis and interpretation of the collected data,
and finally its classification. To take advantage of such riches, the secret is the rules and
techniques of intelligent reading.
• Those who do not know how to read written works scientifically will not know how to take
good notes either. Reading can be classified into three types:
• 1. formative

• 2. distracting

• 3. informative
Example of experimental research

• Investigate the effects of a class of fertilizers on the early growth of a type

of corn, controlling other factors that can also affect growth, supplying the
fertilizer to a group of experimental plants and not supplying it to the
control group of plants.
 When to carry out experimental research?

• When time is a vital factor to establish a relationship between cause and effect.
• When there is an invariable behavior between cause and effect.
• When the cause-effect relationship is eminently for convenience.
Experimental research is any research conducted with a scientific approach, where one set
of variables are held constant, while the other set of variables are measured as the subject
of the experiment.
Experimental research is one of the main quantitative research methods.
 When it is considered a success the
experimental research
• A true experimental investigation is considered successful only when the
researcher confirms that a change in the dependent variable is due to the
manipulation of the independent variable.
