"It was a great experience "😊😊.I learned and practiced something....... something about information technology.............Actually i was very scared about 😔😔😔this workshop because i am not able to handle new information technologies very well. From the very first day , i listened carefully .I learned that i am able to do the particular work alone ,and i can also help my friends😆.So gradually my confidence level started to increase .It was a positive sign for over coming my inhibition😊😊😊😊😊 .Our dear SAJAN SIR strives to mold us in to well trained professionals capable of handling the new technical skills that are increasingly relevant in todays digital age. I don't know we have reached the level that sir expects........But majority of us are confident in applying this information to our profession.
I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for SAJAN SIR'S invaluable support in the ICT workshop. Your guidance has made a significant impact on my under standing and has fueled my passion for technology. Thankyou for being such a dedicated and inspiring teacher.....................
A
hypothesis is a specific, testable prediction. It describes in concrete terms
what you expect will happen in a certain circumstance. Most researches come up
with a hypothesis statement at the beginning of the study. A good hypothesis
must possess the following characteristics. It is never formulated in the form
of a question. It should be empirically testable, whether it is right or wrong.
It should be specific and precise.
Functions
Of Hypothesis
Following are the functions performed by the hypothesis: Hypothesis helps in making an observation and experiments possible. It becomes the start point for the investigation. Hypothesis helps in verifying the observations. It helps in directing the inquiries in the right direction
How Will Hypothesis Help In
The Scientific Methods?
Researchers
use hypotheses to put down their thoughts directing how the experiment would
take place. Following are the steps that are involved in the scientific method:
Formation of question, doing background research, Creation of hypothesis,
Designing an experiment, Collection of data, Result analysis. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. It is
an educated guess or statement that can be tested through research. Hypotheses
are essential for scientific inquiry, as they provide a framework for designing
experiments and interpreting results.
There Are Many Different Sources Of Hypotheses. Some Of The Most
Common Include.
Previous research. This is one of the most common sources of hypotheses. Researchers
often review the literature on a topic to identify gaps in knowledge or areas
where there is disagreement. This can lead to the development of new hypotheses
that can be tested.
Observations. Researchers may also develop hypotheses based on their
own observations. For example, a researcher who notices that a particular plant
seems to grow taller when it is exposed to more sunlight may develop the
hypothesis that sunlight promotes plant growth.
Analogy.
Researchers may also develop hypotheses based on analogies to other phenomena.
For example, a researcher who is studying the spread of a disease may draw an
analogy to the spread of a wildfire. This analogy could lead to the development
of hypotheses about how the disease spreads. Here are some additional sources of hypotheses:
Personal experience. A
researcher's own experiences can sometimes lead to the development of
hypotheses. For example, a researcher who has experienced a particular medical
condition may be more likely to develop hypotheses about that condition.
Serendipity.
Sometimes, hypotheses are developed by accident. For example, Alexander Fleming
discovered penicillin by accident when he noticed that mold was preventing the
growth of bacteria.
Cultural influences. The
cultural background of a researcher can also influence the development of
hypotheses. For example, a researcher who comes from a culture that places a
high value on education may be more likely to develop hypotheses about the
relationship between education and success.
Features
of hypothesis
Figure 1
shows the features of hypothesis
Type of
hypothesis
Table 1
Null
hypothesis
States
that there is no significant relationship or difference between variables.
Alternative
hypothesis
Contracts
with the null hypothesis and proposes a specific relationship or difference
between variables.
Directional
hypothesis
Predicts
the direction of the relationship between variables.
Research
hypothesis
A
specific statement that proposes a relationship or difference between
variables based on theoretical evidence.
Descriptive
hypothesis
Used to
describe or characterize a particular phenomenon or behaviour.
Table 1
shows different types of hypothesis and its description
No matter
what the source, a good hypothesis should be
Testable. A
hypothesis must be able to be tested through research. If a hypothesis cannot
be tested, it is not useful.
Falsifiable. A
hypothesis must be able to be proven wrong. If a hypothesis cannot be proven
wrong, it is not scientific.Specific. A
hypothesis should be specific enough to be tested. A vague hypothesis is not
useful.Relevant. A
hypothesis should be relevant to the research question. A hypothesis that is
not relevant is not useful.Parsimonious. A
hypothesis should be the simplest explanation that fits the data. A complex
hypothesis is not as likely to be correct as a simpler hypothesis.The
development of a good hypothesis is an important step in the scientific
process. By carefully considering the sources of hypotheses, researchers can
develop hypotheses that are more likely to be correct and lead to new
discoveries.
