The scientific study of
organized human
groups is a relatively
recent development,
but a vast amount of
information has been
accumulated
concerning the social
life of human beings.
Scientific Knowledge

The social and behavioural sciences endeavour to


describe, explain, and interpret the range of the social and
behavioural facts that surround us.

▪ To refer to this body of findings as science is


to claim a set of epistemic values about the
nature of the methods of inquiry and
evaluation that are used to arrive at and assess
the conclusions offered about this domain.

“Individuals began to take a more


disciplined approach to quantifying
their observations of society.”
Scientific Knowledge

Scientific knowledge is a knowledge that has been


systematically gathered, classified, related and interpreted.
▪ The label science brings with it a set of
presuppositions about rigor, evidence,
generalizability, logical analysis, objectivity,
cumulativeness, and the likelihood that the
assertions that are made are true.
▪ Consider a few assumptions that are often made
about scientific knowledge some valid and some not.
Social Science

▪ some courses take a global perspective


▪ some an anthropological perspective
▪ some a psychological perspective
▪ some a sociological perspective

and influence the world.

▪ “Social science helps us to gain
knowledge of our peers and the society
in which we live. Human behavior is
important, and having a decent grasp of
it should, in theory, lead to greater
efficiency and quality of life for
everyone.”

Social Sciences
1. Define the problem
2. Literature Review
3. Develop a Theoretical Framework
4. Choose a Research Design
5. Collecting the Necessary Data
6. Analyzing the Results
7. Drawing Conclusions
This one is probably the most
Social Sciences important. If you have carefully
defined your terms, you can
save an enormous amount of
energy if you do not know what
you are doing, no matter how
well you do it then everything
is useless.
Knowledge of the relevant literature is
essential because it provides background, suggests
approaches, indicate what has already been
covered and what hasn’t, and saves you from
redoing what has already been done. It is the way
of using other people`s observation.
Social Sciences
Make a statement predicting
your result and clarify what
each of the terms in the
statements means within the
framework of your research.
Pick a means of gathering data, a survey,
an experiment, an observational study
secondary materials, or a combination.
Weigh this choice carefully because your
plan is the crux of your research process
Social Sciences Data are what one collects from careful
observation. Your conclusion will be
only as good as your data, so take great
care in collecting and especially in
recording your data. If you don’t
document what you have done, you
might as well not have done it.

When all data in classify facts, identify


trends, recognize relationships and
tabulate the information so that it can
be accurately analysed and interpreted.
Social Sciences

You can prepare a report, summarizing the


steps you have followed and discussed what
you have found. Good findings will relate your
conclusions to the existing body of research,
suggest where current assumptions may be
modified because of new evidence and
possibly identify unanswered questions for
further study.
Relies heavily on a study of their
(subjects) historical backgrounds. it traces
the principal past developments that
seem to have been directly significant in
bringing a social situation.
▪ Comprises the techniques and guidelines by which
historians use primary sources and other evidence to
research and then to write histories in the form of
accounts of the past.
▪ The question of nature, and even the possibility, of a
sound historical method, is raised in the philosophy of
history as a question of epistemology. The study of
historical method and writing is known as historiography.
▪ is a participatory, discussion-based
way of learning where students gain
skills in critical thinking,
communication, and group dynamics.
It is a type of problem-based
learning.
▪ involves making a more detailed
examination and analysis of a
particular issue or problem situation.
Formerly often employed in the hope of
discovering evolutionary sequence in the
development of human institutions that
are patterns of social developments or
progress that would be universal.
Activity No. 1
